Jordahl® USA's New Protective Enclosures

In an exciting development for the field of automation and mobile robotics, Jordahl® USA, affiliated with PohlCon, has unveiled four advanced protective enclosures specifically crafted for the etaLINK 3000™ and CW1000™ wireless charging stations. This initiative, launched in collaboration with Wiferion®, a notable PULS® brand, aims to enhance efficiency in demanding industrial environments such as auto manufacturing and logistics, while optimizing fleet management.

The Essence of the New Offerings

These innovative protective enclosures are designed to provide durability and reliability, which are critical for maintaining uninterrupted operation in environments that often experience harsh conditions. Among the new products are the WCPS-R-3013™ In-Floor system, WCPS-RF Raised-Floor system, WCPS-Ramp On-Floor system, and the WCPS-400-SP1 portable system. Each is purpose-built to enhance the durability of wireless charging pads and cables, which is essential for the upkeep of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

Key Features of the New Enclosures

The WCPS-R-3013™ is engineered to withstand a static wheel load of 3,720 lbs, ensuring robust protection against not only heavy vehicles but also environmental challenges that could compromise functionality. This unit is ideal for environments where high traffic of industrial vehicles occurs, providing an exceptionally strong shield against wear and tear.

On the other hand, the WCPS-Ramp™ is tailored for scenarios where an easy, non-invasive installation is required. Its modular design allows for straightforward adjustments in width and length, accommodating various vehicle sizes. This adaptability makes it perfect for multi-station charging setups, especially common on automobile assembly lines.

For environments with raised floors — think laboratories or clean-room facilities — the ISO Class 3 compatible WCPS-RF™ serves as an ideal solution. It retrofits existing raised floor panels with a stainless steel cover, ensuring that the protective features remain intact while allowing seamless integration with current systems. This improves the longevity of both floors and charging setups, a crucial consideration in sensitive operations.

Finally, the WCPS-400-SP1™ is a versatile solution that is both portable and repositionable. Its sturdy, low-profile design provides effective protection without compromising space or operational flow, making it suitable for dynamic environments where workflows may frequently change.

A Step Forward in Fleet Management

These developments are a significant leap forward in addressing the growing reliance on AGVs and AMRs in various sectors. As industries increasingly invest in automation while managing limited space, these protective enclosures play a pivotal role in reducing downtime and improving vehicle utilization through innovative opportunity charging.

By allowing for effective charging solutions tailored to the precise needs of each operational environment, Jordahl® USA and Wiferion® together are ensuring that mobile robotic technologies can function at their best without the worry of infrastructure failure.
