VAHLE Inc. provides crane electrification systems for steel mills, scrap yards, ports and precast plants across North America, delivering reliable power and data transmission for overhead, process, gantry and heavy-duty cranes.
Higher production volumes, fast order cycles and tight delivery windows are driving the need for partially or fully automated intralogistics in modern warehouses and distribution centers.
Adaptable manufacturing processes are the key to maximizing efficiency in vehicle production. VAHLE solutions for energy and data transmission make a significant contribution to this.
U.S. ports are moving toward electrified, lower-emission terminal operations. VAHLE Inc. delivers reliable power and data solutions for STS, RTG/eRTG, and RMG cranes and automation-ready port equipment — built for uptime in harsh coastal environments.
VAHLE delivers reliable power supply, data communication, and positioning solutions for amusement rides across North America, supporting safe operation and high uptime for roller coasters, dark rides, Ferris wheels, and towers.
Streetcars, sky trains and rolling sidewalks are the future of resource-saving mobility. Many manufacturers rely on components from VAHLE for their designs.
VAHLE Inc. delivers reliable power and data solutions for specialty mobile systems, from automated parking and stadium roofs to cleanroom and agricultural applications, engineered for uptime.
vPOWER provides energy transmission solutions for mobile industrial equipment across North America. Choose from conductor systems, festoon systems, cable reels, contactless power supply and charging contacts.
Our slotted microwave guide technology ensures reliable performance in environments where wireless interference, vibration and contamination would compromise conventional systems.
Our robust vPOS systems are available in magnetic and optical variants, allowing optimal adaptation to environmental conditions, installation space and performance requirements.
The modular design of vDRIVE allows flexible configuration for both new installations and modernization projects by integrating seamlessly into industrial automation environments.
With our integrated electrification system solutions, we offer a perfectly coordinated product combination of energy transmission, data communication, positioning and control for a wide range of applications.
The U10 and FABA100 insulated conductor rail systems are designed for light-duty indoor industrial applications requiring safe, reliable power and data transmission. Rated up to 100 Amps, these contact-protected conductor rails are widely used in electrified monorail systems (EMS) and automated shuttle systems in industrial production and automotive manufacturing lines.
The U10 was developed in the 1980s with the emergence of the electrified monorail system. Today, the U10 and FABA100 are particularly suited for controlled indoor environments where safety, compact installation and low-maintenance operation are priorities.
The U10 features individually insulated conductor profiles that allow flexible pole configurations with integrated contact protection for safe operation. Its compact installation footprint makes it ideal for complex track layouts, including tight curves and suspended or lateral mounting. Reverse polarity protection via a specially shaped protective conductor helps prevent unintended vehicle electrification.
The U10 conductor rail can be integrated as part of a VAHLE vSystem solution. vSystem combines the U10 for power transmission with APOS Optic positioning, SMGM data transmission, DCS control and the Smart Collector System for diagnostics.
The FABA100 complements the U10 with simplified connector technology for fast installation and easy system extensions. It is particularly suited for applications where reverse polarity protection is not required.
Both systems are UL-certified and integrate with VAHLE data, positioning and control technologies to create a coordinated electrification solution for modern automation environments.
