Flexibility in manufacturing equipment, increasing ergonomic adaptations for workforces, and new assembly techniques for electric vehicles are putting car manufacturers under enormous pressure. As a consequence, the deployment level of automation and flexible conveyors is increasing steadily.
With the use of electrified conveyors in lieu of pure mechanical conveyors, or completely different conveyor technologies like automated guided vehicles (AGVs) instead of mechanical overhead conveyors, car manufacturers are going new ways to produce cars. Commitment to the automotive industry Conductix-Wampfler helps to address these challenges with innovative products at all steps of the automotive production process. In fact, Conductix- Wampfler is a world-leading supplier of mobile energy supply and data transmission systems.
Our core competence lies in the development, production, consulting, installation and servicing of tailor-made energy and data supply solutions for the automotive industry, supplemented by LJU mobile control solutions. We offer a wide range of systems to support standardised, flexible automotive manufacturing processes. Whether it is to provide power and data for cranes, conveyor systems or controls for electrified conveyors, we have the right products and services for your needs.
Conductix-Wampfler offers a worldwide network of automotive experts and service specialists who support our automotive customers’ requirements including on-site services, both globally and locally. Reliable conveyor electrification In many cases, the need for flexible production requires intelligent electrified and automated conveyors. Conductix- Wampfler has decades of experience with these systems and is proud to provide both reliable and innovative electrification as well as mobile control solutions for many different types of conveyors.
Electrified monorail systems (EMS), AGVs, skillet lines, automatic storage and retrieval systems around the world are powered by our conductor rails or Inductive Power Transfer IPT®, which Conductix-Wampfler has been providing to the automotive industry successfully since 1997. Since then, more than 600 systems have been installed all over the world, most of them still in operation. LJU - dedicated compact controllers for conveyors
Under the brand LJU, Conductix-Wampfler provides dedicated, compact mobile controllers for electrified conveyors, EMS, skillet lines, AGVs and others. LJU has been an innovative pioneer in the world of mobile controllers for conveyors since the 1980s, constantly bringing new features and more reliability on these solutions, lastly by integrated predictive maintenance and IoT features. Various commands and communication solutions from the stationary PLC to the controllers are inherent to the complete solution offering.
The multi-functional, micro-controller based controllers of the LJU Series 8 provide advanced features in a very compact size, including multiple interfaces to peripherals.
The proprietary motor control drive is designed for multiple types of motors (asynchronous, permanent magnet, brushless DC) and for specific mobile use, resistant to vibrations.
The compact controllers ST-87x include a standard software that is easy to customise by parameterisation for standard EMS processes, like in bodyshop or components delivery operations.
Final assembly conveyors, like in the chassis marriage operation, typically include multiple safety features and modes that can be handled by the largest controllers
