Transfer Car Modernization

Nexus BB is a brand new data over power solution for industrial applications, and works across many different conductor profiles including; festoon, cable chain, slip ring, conductor rail, and cable reels. Nexus BB creates a secured hardwired PLi-Fi (Power Line-Fidelity) connection through any conductor providing ultimate reliability. The secure signal travels through two of the power conductors, eliminating the need for additional signal conductors.

Nexus BB can be used on new and existing systems to add a secure data communication layer, and does not require any networking expertise or special equipment. Nexus BB replaces Wi-Fi with PLi-Fi for mobile equipment communication, with the same minimal maintenance as a WiFi solution. The innovative design adapts to noisy environments for dependable performance. Nexus BB is a plug and play solution that allows for easy modernization to existing installations with minimal downtime. Nexus BB is a data over power solution that provides a contained PLi-Fi signal for ultimate security through signal isolation.

Material handling systems, automated overhead cranes, and other automated machinery often need an accurate way to determine the exact position of the moving machines or elements. You can use this information to assure correct vehicle spacing, provide material storage locations, or to give position feedback. The Conductix-Wampfler Optical Positioning System (OPS) offers a complete solution to supply the needed position information along a fixed rail. You can integrate our OPS into new installations or easily retrofit it onto existing applications.

The Beta radio remote control operator module adapts to your application to make your process more efficient. This easy-to-use light-weight handheld module gives you incomparable freedom of movement, precise and agile quality maneuvers and higher productivity while ensuring your operators’ safety.

Main Features:

• Configurable, interactive 2-way radio link to exchange information while adapting to the radio environment
• User-friendly screen for look-up, selection, validation, configuration…
• Compact, easy-to handle casing for one-hand control
• Quick and easy setup for application configuration thanks to iDialog software (labels, feedback, alarms, mapping actuators/outputs, interlocks, network features, access by PIN codes)
• Easy to maintain thanks to its diagnostic aid system (information on screen, iDialog analysis software)

In grey ATEX version, it will even operate safely under permanent risk of explosion (gas: zone 0, dust: zone 20).

The Global Safety Stop System for Radio Remote Controls focuses on SIL 3 – PLe wireless emergency stop to tackle critical dangers typically met in highly automatized factories / warehouses, robotized production cells, continuous process lines.

Global safety:

• Much more than individual machine safety
• SIL 3 - PLe TÜV Süd certified solution
• Independence from any navigation solution
• Operators absolute safety within fleets of AGVs

The Conductix-Wampfler Hevi-Bar II Conductor Bar System delivers the kind of reliable, high-capacity crane rail electric service needed by factories, mills, storage yards, people movers, and other rigorous applications.

Hevi-Bar II features:

• Effective Heat Dissipation - uses surface area rather than mass to dissipate heat generated by high current conditions
• Mounting versatility - can be mounted with the bars next to one another (horizontal) or one above the other (vertical)
• A choice of Insulating Covers - standard orange PVC, green PVC for the bonding (ground) conductor bar (500 amp only), black UV-resistant PVC for outdoor use, and medium or high heat versions to withstand higher ambient temperatures
• Ease of Installation - a limited number of modular components
• Low Maintenance and Long Life - this is truly an "install it once and forget about it" conductor bar system
• Easy System Configuration - using our advanced "Quick Quote" software!

Optimal corrosion protection even in tough environments. Flanges and reel drum are manufactured from hot dip galvanized steel.

Reliable operation with standardized slip ring assembly.

Highly durable, maintenance-free and contactless torque transmission - standard motor with magnetic coupler.

Typical applications:

• Gantry cranes
• Overhead cranes
• Grabs or magnets
• Transfer cars
• Waste water treatment facilities
• Theater stage rigging
