CHARGING
ContaCtless energy transfer quite simple. BEECHARGE offers an enormous radius of action in the field of energy supply systems. It enables contactless loading at a distance of up to 40 mm, ideal for automated guided vehicles and mobile robotic solutions.
Advantages of the system include faster commissioning, less maintenance, error-tolerant positioning accuracy, no wear and tear and faster layout changes.

Power storage devices, battery or others
Easy to mount on general-purpose AGVs Use immediately by attaching the power receiving set to the AGV and installing the power transmitting set at the AGV stop position on the production line.
Opportunity power charge without stopping production lineIn the past, it was necessary to wait until batteries ran out and then charge for long periods of time, but now it is possible to operate AGVs 24 hours a day with opportunity charging to compensate of single power cycles in a short time. Benefits of UsingWith BEECHARGE, it is possible to fully automate battery charging operations that have thus far required manual work, improving productivity and reducing manual charging and waiting costs.
Wireless power transfer makes it easy to operate AGVs 24 hours a day.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What happens if someone puts their hands between the power transmitting and receiving coils during charging? There are no exposed metal contact surfaces as there are on conventional chargers, so electric shock will not occureven if someone puts their hands between or touch it by any chance. When the product is used within the specifiedrange, it is less than the standard values stipulated by the Japanese Guidelines for Protection from Radio Waves and he international standards of ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionzing Radiaction Protection)
2. I have heard that batteries‘ life is shortened by frequently charging them for short periods of time. Is this true? For both lead-acid batteries and LiB batteries, lifespan ist extended by frequently charging for short periods and not letting them discharge too much.
3. Do radio frequencies during wireless power transfer interfere with RFID, communications equipment, etc.? While this product runs at a fundamental wave, 85 kHz, RFID and communication devices normally use the MHz band, so they do not interfere with each other because their frequency bands are significantly different.

Precaution for Use
• Use this system in places where not contacted by water.
• Use this system in places where not exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not place metallic objects between the power transmitting and receiving coils.
• Use the systems as a complete set. (This product cannot be combined with wireless power transfer systems of other manufacture.)
• Permission is required for installation because this equipment uses high frequencies (when installed in Japan).
