Compact conductor system VCL

The requirements in intralogistics are increasing. Especially in e-commerce, where small quantities often go hand-in-hand with high item variance, the challenges are great. To increase the throughput of automated warehouses, many manufacturers rely on scalable systems and dynamic high-speed applications.

The VAHLE Compact Line (VCL) is a true all-round talent. Thanks to its modular design, the multipolar energy supply system is suitable for almost all track-guided vehicles used in bearings. Thanks to high clearance and creepage distances, the VCL ensures reliable power and signal transmission even in heavily contaminated environments.

In shuttle applications of all kinds, the VCL is used as a two- or three-pole variant. Its ultra-compact design allows it to be concealed in the drive profile. The very long service life of the current collectors and collector brushes keeps maintenance and follow-up costs low.

For automated sorting and retreival systems (AS/RS) in small parts warehouses and stacker cranes in pallet warehouses, the VCL offers a four- to six-pole solution. By combining it with the VAHLE Multi Carrier (VMT), the system scores with large suspension distances as well as reliable mechanical protection of the conductor rail. In addition, optical positioning systems can be easily integrated.
