Track accessories for position measurement

The perforated strips or self-adhesive barcode tapes installed along the track form the counterpart to the sensor systems attached to the carriage. In interaction with the control system, position and speed are determined in real-time to control the vehicles within the system.

Depending on the functional task of the plant and the operating environment found, the appropriate solution is implemented by Conductix-Wampfler in close consultation with the customer.
