Contactless power supply system for industrial rail-mounted material handling applications. High speed, emission-free and resistant to harsh environments.
When supplying power to rail-mounted vehicles, a continuous inductive contactless supply is generally required along the entire path of travel. IPT® Rail features a protruding primary track that is installed parallel to the rail. The elevated installation of the cable to guide vehicles allow the use of E-shape pickups that are attached to the driven vehicle and envelope both track cables from several sides. This type of power supply is made for high speed travelling over long-distance, emission-free and resistant to harsh environments.

Your benefits:
+ Increased productivity
- no wearing mechanical parts
- no collector dust generated
- large mechanical traverse tolerances
- high travelling speeds
- unlimited forward and reverse movement
+ Easy to configure
- cost efficiencies thanks to a lean, compelling system design
- brackets clip into the rail
- double cable primary
+ Safe and Noiseless environment
- no exposed electrical contacts due to completely insulated and no galvanic transfer
- the system does not produce any noise emissions or vibration
- not susceptible to environmental influences
+ Modular design
- due to the modular structure, many diverse combinations of power ranges can be assembled.
- wide range of pickups meet your power requirements
+ Low Operating Costs
- Increases system availability and minimizes maintenance requirements in the long term
+ Harsh & sensitive environments
- minimizes the chance of additional contamination in areas that must be kept clean
- very suitable in water solutions or wet and damp locations
+ Transparant interfaces
- based on international norms, connects to most standard equipment
+ High speeds
Without sliding brushes and moving mechanical parts:
- IPT’s contactless energy supply enables high speeds of more than 10 m/s
- the system does not produce any noise emissions or vibration
+ Suited for long-distance tracks
- Due to the modular structure of our IPT’s applications, many various combinations can be assembled and therefore remarkably suitable for tracks with long distances.
