Drive automation forwards – the intelligent way
FreeCon Contactless makes your applications more efcient on many levels
FreeCon Contactless was developed in close collaboration with leading German car
manufacturers. The system is suitable for an extremely wide range of sectors, such as machine
construction, robotics, materials handling and even renewable energy. It can be retrotted
with ease and is thus an appealing solution for existing plants, too. With this multitude of
advantages, it helps to increase the level of automation and optimises the production process.
And best of all, FreeCon Contactless does more than simply help to avoid contact-related
failures and cut maintenance costs. Completely new designs and areas of application are
possible with a view to optimising production processes.
The automotive industry makes use of applications that
require frequent plugging cycles, such as industrial
robots performing tool changes. They work with a
variety of tools, which they independently change for
different tasks – such as gripping or welding. The high
level of wear that occurs on the mechanical plug-in
connections can be avoided entirely with FreeCon
Contactless. This saves both time and money in terms of
contact maintenance and replacement, in addition to
minimising machine failures caused by maintenance
work or defects.
Automatic transport systems, which are a common feature
of many warehouses and production halls nowadays,
complete all work without mechanical support. A member of
staff only has to be present to make the plug-in connection,
which is required for charging the battery. FreeCon
Contactless makes even this manual work step superuous.
The driverless transport systems move to the charging
station independently just before the battery goes at, at the
end of the working day, or at shutdown periods. The result is
effective time and cost savings, which means your
investment pays for itself in no time at all.
