Positioning Systems
Pepperl+Fuchs utilizes different technologies to provide industrial positioning systems for virtually any positioning task. Our product range includes:
- Inductive Positioning Systems
- Distance Measurement Sensors
- Position Encoding System WCS
- Data Matrix Positioning System PCV
- Electronic CAM-Switch Controller PAX
Inductive Positioning Systems- Various industrial positioning systems for high precision detection of linear movements and rotations are available. Our inductive positioning systems are resistant to external contamination. Need to connect your controller? Our inductive positioning systems provide configurable outputs and data interfaces.
Distance Measurement Devices- Distance measurement sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs use the optical concept of Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT). With modern PRT, distances to 300 m with accuracies of 0.1 mm are easily achieved.
Position Encoding System WCS- For positioning over longer travel paths, the position encoding system WCS excels in systems with curves, switchpoints, inclines, or declines. With measurement lengths to 327 m, WCS is suitable for position detection in warehousing, material handling and automated conveyor systems, crane positioning, elevators, and much more...
Data Matrix Positioning System PCV- The Data Matrix Positioning System uses Data Matrix codes, which are arranged side by side on a code reel as an information carrier. The reading head, based on modern camera technology, captures these two-dimensional codes and evaluates the exact position in X- and Y directions - up to 10,000 meters.
Electronic CAM-Switch Controller PAX- PAX is a non-contact electronic CAM-Switch Controller and is used with the PMI inductive angle sensor. Easily capture machine shaft position without expensive, time-consuming mechanical cams! Configure up to 14 switch outputs and 6 analog outputs via the intuitive, integrated software.
