Infineon teams for 1.5kW wireless charging for mobile robots

Xnergy Autonomous Power Technologies in Singapore has worked with Infineon Technologies on a compact high-power wireless charging system for smaller delivery and service robots, smaller AMRs, and AGVs.

The Phoenix charger delivers 1500 watts of power and accommodates wide tolerances of up to 5 cm of airgap, in a size slightly bigger than a mobile phone. To achieve higher efficiency and reduce heat generation, Xnergy used a range of power devices from Infineon, including MOFSETs, current sensors and gate drivers for the wireless charger.

The universal charger uses a proprietary topology technology supports multiple battery types.

“The compact size of the Phoenix wireless charger makes an excellent fit for our latest AMR model. Its seamless integration and consistent performance in fast and reliable charging have fully met our requirements,” said Nik Faisal, General Manager of DF Robotics in Malaysia which has been testing early units.

“Our collaboration with Infineon underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in wireless charging solutions,” said Dr. CF Tong, Founder and CEO of Xnergy. “The Phoenix is a testament to how strategic partnerships can address the growing demand for efficient, compact, and sustainable power solutions across autonomous mobility sectors. By combining Infineon’s advanced components with our proprietary technology, we are setting new standards in high density wireless charger­—small in size, fast in charging. We want to make autonomous charging seamless and easy to adopt.”
