When the production scale, access or room classification (e.g. hazardous area) does not permit manual handling, the PowerDock system can be integrated into any ChargePoint® valve to provide a fully automated docking solution.
Repeatable docking accuracy
A PowerDock™ facilitates the automated raising and lowering of the Active unit when docking to a Passive. The system also corrects any misalignment of the process equipment to ensure repeatable docking accuracy.
Technical Overview
The PowerDock™ is attached directly between the process equipment and the Active unit. A unique bearing arrangement corrects lateral misalignment between the Active and Passive units as they dock. A flexible EPDM connector compensates for the vertical movement of the Active unit whilst maintaining containment. Integral guide pins and sleeves ensure the Active returns to a central, fixed position once undocked from the Passive.
