Inductive Power Transfer Systems for Rotating Applications

This article presents a review of rotation system for wireless power transmission to a rotating divider platform. Such equipment is widely used in the construction of automated production lines, providing various technological operations in a parallel processing of several parts. The ways of contactless power supply of the moving units are widely discussed. In this case, they are a part of automated manufacturing machines for producing of laminate tube for cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Special attention is paid to the synthesis, design and analysis of the rotating wireless power transmitter (RWPT) providing the power supply to the moving units. The possible solutions for transmitting data and control signals, used to synchronize and manage the multiple parallel technological operations, are also investigated and presented.
