INDUCTIVE TRANSMISSION REDUCES WEAR AND MAINTENANCE

Connectors are among the typical weak points of mobile machinery: contamination, moisture, and mechanical stress can lead to contact issues, failures, and increased maintenance effort. MOBA Mobile Automation has developed an innovative technology that enables contactless, bidirectional transmission of power and data between machine components. The solution is based on inductive transmission, a principle also used in smartphone charging and medical implants.

As a result, failure-prone connectors become obsolete. This not only simplifies the installation and replacement of interchangeable components, but also significantly reduces wear, maintenance effort, and downtime. With a data rate of at least 1 MB/s, the new solution achieves a performance level comparable to conventional connectors.

MORE PRECISE MACHINE CONTROL WITH SMART POSITIONING CONTROLLER

MOBA presents a powerful solution for highly precise positioning and motion detection of mobile machines with the Smart Positioning Controller (MSPC). The controller features a large project memory, integrates machine position and data from various sensors, and processes them based on a stored, machine-specific kinematic model. This is enabled in part by the MSPC’s dual-RTK GNSS technology.

SENSOR TECHNOLOGY FOR STABLE AND PRECISE MACHINE MOVEMENTS

In Cologne, the sensor specialist will also present a selection of its sensor solutions. The IMU-6 (Inertial Measurement Unit) enables precise detection of tilt, acceleration and rotational movements in real time. Its six degrees of freedom allow highly accurate motion tracking and ensure stable measurement data even in dynamic machine environments.

The AGRI-SONIC ultrasonic sensor enables non-contact and wear-free measurement of actual working depth in agricultural soil cultivation. Representing a new generation of tilt sensors, the MSSH (MOBA Slope Sensor Hybrid) combines two measurement principles to ensure particularly stable tilt values.

Visitors can also expect modular HMI systems and robust displays, as well as the CAN-LIGHT signal lamp, which ensures clear machine communication with freely configurable texts, symbols and colors.
