Abstract
A slip ring transmitter for electrically connecting assemblies of rotary-table machines is described and comprises a slip ring with a signal unit for transmitting signals and/or data and with a power unit for transmitting electrical power. As the signal unit is formed such that it is modularly detachable can in particular be axially drawn off from the power unit, the signal unit can be inspected and/or replaced separately from the power unit. This improves the reliability of the transmission of signals and/or data and enables individual optimization of the power unit.
Claims17
A slip ring transmitter for electrically connecting assemblies of rotary-table machines, comprising:
- a slip ring with a signal unit for transmitting signals and/or data and with a power unit for transmitting electrical power,
