- Moreover, our solutions enable more streamlined manufacturing processes and strongly reduced maintenance.
AGV/AMR CHARGING SYSTEMS
Connections that work. Reliability you can count on.
Mobile robots and AGVs often run 24h a day, maintaining reliability and a consistent battery charge is therefore a challenge. We help you to keep going.
Mobile robots and AGVs can operate 24 hours a day. The choice of the right
charging system and interconnections is crucial to ensure the best possible
performance and ideal charging times. Ensuring efficient battery charging is
critical to optimizing battery life, which helps reduce the frequency of
battery replacement, saving both time and money. Stäubli offers reliable
highcurrent solutions for different use cases.
Overall high currentcarrying capacity and reliability over thousands of
mating cycles are paramount to the high performance, uninterrupted operation
of AGVs and mobile robots.
Manual Charging
When charging manually, the charging connector must be plugged in by hand
during stops.

High-Misalignment Endpieces
The CombiTac highmisalignment solution compensates for radial and angular
misalignment during connection processes. With the conic shape of the female
shape, the pins on the male side are guided. These guiding pins include
insulation caps to prevent unintentional contact with live parts on the
socket side.
Covers radial and angular misalignment up to 10 mm and ±3°, respectively
