Conductix-Wampfler offers Energy & Data Transmission Systems for several kind of industry

Energy and data transmission solutions are required throughout manufacturing facilities and in some institutional buildings, such as schools and museums. The needs can range from simple retractable cord reels to more sophisticated workstation systems. Spring-driven cable and cord reels provide portable power to assembly areas, trade school shop areas, automotive repair shops, and other maintenance shops. Ergonomic handling of large tools need a spring assist to manage the weight. Cable reels or conductor rails can power various service machines, such as window washing platforms and other utility machines. Mobile maintenance trucks and trailers often require cable and hose management, as do service providers, such as landscaping companies, electric utilities, and so forth. These types of standard electrification devices are often purchased through electrical/industrial distributors and catalog houses.

Conductix-Wampfler builds high-quality cable and hose reels, lifting/balancing, and control devices to general industry. In France, Italy, Germany, and the United States, we manufacture an array of products made and serviced locally.

Spring-driven Cord and Cable Reels

A complete array of metric cord and cable reels are made locally in France, Germany, and Italy, as well as American Wire Gauge (AWG) reels made in the United States. Common configurations are available for very quick delivery!
Reels handle from 6 m (about 20 ft) up to 30m (about 100 ft) and more
High-quality slip ring assemblies to transfer power from the source to the spooled cable.

Spring Balancers – to manage the weight of heavy tools

For the world market, we offer quality balancers made in Germany.
In the USA, we also market ENDO retractors, tool balancers, air balancers, and air hoists.

Workstation Equipment

We offer a complete array of jibs, equipment cranes, C-track, and energy supply systems for maintenance and assembly areas.

Jay Radio Remote Controls – offer a safe way of operating or monitoring machines from a distance. The comprehensive range of industrial and safety radio remote controls offers countless solutions to adapt to an extensive number of industrial applications.

Additional information

Generally the basic function of Rail systems is the same as that of other Inductive Power Transfer systems. But there are some additional or specific aspects to consider.

Inductive Power Transfer "Rail" - System layout

Because vehicles are usually rail guided here and an elevated installation of the cable is possible it becomes also possible to use E-shaped pickups.

In applications with traveling track segments, i.e. switches in electric monorail systems (EMS), the experience with inductive power transfer can be used to supply such track segments inductively with energy.

Naturally contactless, inductive power transfer systems can also replace other conventional solutions, as cable chains or conductor rails in skillet lines, skids or in transfer cars if there are certain requirements on the solution, for example if voltage arcs at rail ends shall be avoided or if the access for maintenance underneath skillet platforms is very limited, environmental demands on the power transfer solution are high, etc.
