Inductive power system products for industry applications from 1kW to 36kW – the etaLINK Systems
IP65, CONTACTLESS, INSTANT, WEAR & TEAR-FREE CHARGING
The patented etaLINK 3000 & etaLINK 12000 system was developed for inductive charging of industrial vehicles within the area of mobile robotics and wireless charging AGV. With our design, the chargers take into account the intelligence and autonomy of the new generation of robotics systems. They can be easily and independently installed and provide the vehicle with all relevant data. It is possible to connect these in series, so that i.e. 2 etaLINK 3000 Systems can charge with 6kW as well as 3 etaLink 12000 for 36kW.
No charging contacts with wireless charging systems
The absence of mechanical charging contacts makes it easy to integrate charging the battery into existing processes and thus an intermediate charge of the batteries is possible. This saves time and eliminates the potential dangers posed by open contacts. The etaLINK charging systems are maintenance-free and enable uninterrupted operation over many years.
charger and charging station – wireless – etaLINK
The contactless, inductive charging systems for autonomous transport vehicles (AGV), robots and industrial trucks in industrial environments. As soon as your vehicle is on the charging station, the charging process begins. The contact-free design means that the Wiferion wireless charging products can be placed wherever it makes sense for your process. In less than a second, the charging process is initialized without any problems. For optimized charging of the lithium-based batteries, communication with the vehicle components is ensured via an integrated CAN bus interface makes it the perfect in-process charging system.
LITHIUM BATTERY TECHNOLOGY
a game changer in powering your electric vehicles
During the past decade lithium batteries have evolved from a niche technology to a state-of-the-art storage technology for electric vehicles. Especially for the material handling segment the advantages compared to traditional lead-acid batteries are obvious.
etaSTORE LITHIUM BATTERIES
Dependent on the requirements of your application Wiferion also provides different battery types.
Each type can be provided:

etaHUB – Digital energymanagement system
CLOUDBASED ENERGY DATA
Your energy data holds the key to optimizing your processes. Our etaHUB cloud solution and the CANbus gives you access to all this data of our wireless power products and even more. You could use it, for example, to plan in vehicle services far in advance to help prevent breakdowns or to take specific vehicles out of operation if their battery is running low or error messages appear.
