Sammendrag
Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) with a rearrangeable structure can quickly adjust their productivity to meet the dynamic market changes and the demand for high-variety products. Industry 4.0 technologies
have enhanced the RMS flexibility and made the automation of the reconfiguration of the manufacturing system
possible. As an Industry 4.0 technology, wireless power transfer (WPT) can further increase the flexibility of
RMS by providing safe, reliable, and maintenance-free autonomous charging. This paper examines the wireless
electrification of RMS by investigating different WPT configurations that increase flexibility and autonomy,
creating a highly flexible RMS. It also proposes a battery charging platform for further enhancement of the
flexibility of RMS. As a low-cost WPT solution, the paper tests capacitive charging systems. The proposed
charging system has about 135 W power transfer capability at a 5 cm distance and about 84% efficiency.
