EnerSys launches NexSys Air
Wireless charger for AGV
EnerSys has introduced the NexSys Air wireless charger. Designed for a wide range of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), the wireless charger offers an advanced, space-saving design to automate the charging process and eliminate maintenance tasks. This is a safe and convenient solution for operating equipment and AGV manufacturers (OEMs) that eliminates the need for physical connections.
The NexSys Air wireless charger features non-contact charging pads, eliminating the maintenance and wear associated with physical charging connections. Capable of charging traditional liquid acid, thin plate pure lead (TPPL) and lithium-ion batteries, the NexSys Air wireless charger can handle a range of AGVs, charging schedules and location requirements, providing more flexibility and reliability for automated operations.
"With no physical connectors to wear out and no manual labor, the NexSys Air wireless charger provides reliable, maintenance-free AGV charging - helping customers deliver on the promise of true automation," said Harold Vanasse, senior director of marketing, Motive Power Global at EnerSys. "As the latest solution in our line of maintenance-free motive power products, the NexSys Air wireless charger maximizes the uptime of AGVs with intermediate charging, which really helps increase productivity in operational facilities."
With their small footprint, NexSys Air wireless chargers can be placed in a variety of locations within operational facilities - providing additional flexibility in layout design. Each unit also features intuitive touchscreen controls and advanced safety features, including Foreign Object Detection (FOD) and Live Object Detection (LOD) to protect workers and equipment.
