Station-side charger
The charger and station-side responsibilities define the source of the charging interface.
DOCKING & CHARGING
Docking contacts, charger interface, battery / BMS handoff, alignment constraints, safety interlock, wiring and documentation for mobile robots.
Electrical and mechanical docking interfaces must be defined together using the selected charger, contact and battery context.
A complete system drawing is not required. Start with the subsystem, interfaces, operating limits and available documents.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Define docking as a combined electrical and mechanical interface from the station charger through the contacts to the robot battery system.
The charger and station-side responsibilities define the source of the charging interface.
Contact geometry, ratings, mating context and service access connect the station to the robot.
Mechanical alignment, engagement and interlock interfaces affect safe and repeatable contact.
Robot-side wiring, BMS context and charge acceptance must be documented from available records.
STARTING POINT
Start with the battery and BMS, charger, docking method, contact hardware and available alignment constraints.
Identify the battery pack, BMS and available charging-interface information.
State whether charging is station-side or onboard and identify the selected charger when available.
Provide contact hardware, mating direction, alignment method and space constraints.
Identify status, interlock, wiring and installation-document requirements.
INTERFACE DEPENDENCIES
A change in charger, contacts, alignment or interlock can affect the robot-side charge interface, BMS handoff, mechanical envelope and installation documentation.
INTEGRATION DECISIONS
These decisions connect station-side responsibilities, robot-side interfaces and the physical docking event.
Define charger location, station responsibilities and available electrical records.
Review documented contact ratings, mating geometry and service conditions.
Describe approach direction, alignment method, engagement and status or interlock signals.
Connect the charge interface to BMS, battery, wiring and installation documentation.

SERVICE SCOPE & RESPONSIBILITIES
Defined inputs, deliverables, boundaries and acceptance.
This published scope is a starting point for quotation. A signed statement of work may add, remove or revise individual items.
Docking contacts, charger interface, battery / BMS handoff, alignment constraints, safety interlock, wiring and documentation for mobile robots.
Required input
Not included unless expressly stated in a signed statement of work:
The customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate:
Changes to an approved requirement, drawing, interface, operating condition or acceptance criterion require a written Change Request.
A Change Request may affect price, schedule, tooling, minimum order quantity, performance, validation and documentation.
EmbodyStack engineering services support product selection, feasibility evaluation, customization, documentation preparation, prototype development and integration review.
Unless expressly included in a signed statement of work, the service does not constitute complete system design, system certification, independent safety validation, production qualification, legal or regulatory advice or approval of the customer’s final machine.
Results depend on the accuracy and completeness of the customer’s stated operating conditions, loads, duty cycle, interfaces, environmental requirements, safety requirements and target-market requirements.
Changes to these inputs may invalidate previous conclusions and require a revised scope, quotation or schedule.
Share the approved inputs, operating context and requested deliverables so EmbodyStack can confirm the appropriate service scope.
