Pepperl + Fuchs: Reliable position detection

Pepperl+Fuchs’ PosiTrack PCV Data Matrix Positioning System is a 2-D, camera-based position feedback system that uses a data matrix code band for a wide range of positioning tasks including automated storage and retrieval systems, overhead monorails, lifts and rotary turntables.

Sep 12, 2011

The PosiTrack PCV system is capable of fast read speeds to 41ft/s, and the high data density of the 2-D code square allows continuous reading over distances up to 6 miles. The unique code band is available in lengths of up to 10 km. Several Data Matrix code lines on the band also allow the evaluation of the vertical position.
