The Applications

1. Autonomous Mobile Robots in Smart Factories

In modern production plants, mobile robots rely on stable power to manage navigation, sensors, and control systems. Voltage drops from long operating hours or battery fluctuations can disrupt performance. A DC/DC converter ensures the 24 V supply from the battery is converted into a consistent 12 V for critical electronics. With its high efficiency and preventive monitoring, the converter reduces energy loss and alerts operators before issues occur, keeping robots moving safely and efficiently.

2. Heavy-Duty Vehicle Electrical Systems

Industrial vehicles such as forklifts, cranes, and mining trucks often run on 24 V systems but require 12 V for auxiliary components like lights, displays, and control units. This converter bridges the gap, providing clean and stable voltage regardless of engine noise or vibration. The POWER BOOST function ensures reliable startup of heavy loads, while the rugged design withstands harsh conditions, making it ideal for demanding mobile applications.

3. Telecommunications and Remote Power Sites

Telecommunication stations and remote base units need continuous operation to ensure communication lines stay active. Equipment like amplifiers, routers, and control panels often run on 12 V but are powered from a 24 V bus or backup battery. The converter guarantees precise voltage regulation and isolation, maintaining service during fluctuations or surges. Its efficiency and unlimited capacitive load capability make it a dependable choice for critical communication systems.

4. E-Mobility and Electric Utility Vehicles

Electric buses, agricultural machinery, and hybrid vehicles require multiple voltage levels to power dashboards, sensors, and cooling systems. A DC/DC converter allows the main high-voltage supply to safely deliver a steady 12 V output for auxiliary systems. Built-in surge protection and a wide temperature tolerance ensure reliability even in environments with constant vibration, heat, or cold. This helps extend vehicle uptime while protecting sensitive electronic subsystems.
