Components of HID Inductive Power Distribution System

To supply power to moving transport equipment, a method that uses a covered trolley and carbon current collector is typical, but the worn current collector requires periodic replacement and the equipment must be inspected to prevent electrical leakage. This method cannot be used in clean rooms since it produces dust.

With Contec's HID Series, power is supplied to the transport equipment without touching it. This eliminates parts that wear down like current collectors which can greatly reduce running costs since they no longer need to be replaced and equipment no longer needs to be inspected. The HID Series can also be safely used in clean rooms and around water because it does not produce dust or sparks.

To supply power to spindles, arms, and tables that are the moving components of NC machine tools and machining centers, cableveyor with a caterpillar structure that protect cables and power supply cables are typically used. This structure increases the size of equipment and is a source of noise.

With Contec's HID Series, cables to supply power are unnecessary, so a power supply cableveyor is also unnecessary. The HID Series greatly contributes to reducing noise, decreasing the size of equipment, and maintaining safety.

Charging electric carts, electric vehicle, and autonomous robots raises concerns about increased costs and growing running costs from having to manually connect charging connectors and accurate automated positioning control up to the charging point.

Contec's HID Series has large merits such as not requiring a connection to a connector for charging and it does not require accurate automated positioning control compared to systems for contact power supply.

To ensure a drive power supply for automated guided vehicles, one method is to construct a system that charges the batteries installed on automated guided vehicles. However, this method raises concerns about increased costs and growing running costs from expensive and heavy batteries, having to manually connect chargers, and accurate automated positioning control up to the charging point.

For mobile power supply

With Contec's HID Series, you can construct a mobile power supply system by extending inductive wires through the moving route.
This leads to large reductions in weight and decreased costs since the automated guided vehicles no longer require batteries.

For a capacitor system

Compared to batteries, capacitors have a short charging time. You can greatly improve operating efficiency through the application of capacitors in the autonomous power supply (storage) in automated guided vehicles. Contec's HID Series solves the problem of an increase in the frequency of charges. This can reduce the time when the vehicles are not operating by quickly charging them with power supplied wirelessly.
