It is always difficult to install sensors and other devices in machines and equipment with rotating tables, moving pallets, tool changing and forming dies, because the equipment is restricted by fixed cabling. PowerGap meets customers' demands for wire-less solutions by inductively supplying power from a fixed part to a moving part and transmitting signals between the two.
