Technical details SkyCarrier

Sophisticated and powerful

With the SkyCarrier, the engineers at a+f GmbH have designed extremely safe, robust yet inexpensive tracking systems. The result is a convincing product, an innovative tracking system.

The construction of our SkyCarrier has been characterised by our many years of experience in crane and machine tool manufacture. As a result, all steel components are approved and used only after careful consideration of extensive safety factors. In contrast to the increased vulnerability of conventional elevation rotational tracking systems, the tracking systems made by a+f GmbH are so solid that the owner will be able to sleep soundly, even in rough environmental conditions. In addition, the sturdy drive technology enables completely reliable operation.

Low-maintenance and uninterrupted operation

Solid and proven technology makes the SkyCarrier robust and resilient. The use of fragile sensors was deliberately avoided, in order to ensure reliable operation, even over longer periods of time. The SkyCarrier is driven by a three-stage planetary gear drive. In contrast to some other gear types, the planetary gear system develops a permanent oil film and is therefore subject to significantly less wear. The special gear design allows the maintenance intervals – and associated oil change – to be extended to up to 5 years.

Autonomous and controlled

The SkyCarrier series monitor their most important functions autonomously. It selfcalibrates daily, adjusting to the south and all PLC control functions can also be monitored and recorded online. A worldwide service network allows a+f GmbH to respond quickly in any situation. In addition, the internet enables permanent monitoring of the facility – 24 hours a day. In addition to regular reports, it is also possible to obtain status reports including selective information on an individual SkyCarrier or the entire solar power plant.

The SkyCarrier enables intelligent and environmentally friendly energy production from egenerative sources. The tracking systems mnufactured by a+f GmbH are 99 % recyclable, and do not emit any CO2.
