Bar code positioning systems

The FBPS 600i fail-safe bar code positioning system requires just one sensor for safe position detection. The device is connected to a safe evaluation unit – e.g. a frequency inverter – via two SSI interfaces and is suitable for applications up to PL e. This means that safety functions can now be easily implemented. The amount of space required and the time and effort needed for installation are additionally reduced.

• Safe position detection with just one device up to PL e
• Extremely easy implementation of the safety functions
• Low space requirements and reduced installation effort
• Short fault reaction time of 10 ms for use on fast stacker cranes
• Wide working range of 50 to 170 mm and the well-thought-out fastening concept ensure simple mounting and integration

Our BPS 8 compact bar code positioning system convinces with its robust metal housing and turnable M12 connector. The RS 232 or RS 485 interface allows the system to be incorporated in your system architecture. The BPS8 is available with either front beam exit or with a deflection mirror.

• Absolute position measurement up to 10,000 m
• Curve-going, horizontally and vertically
• Degree of protection: IP 67
• Various protocols on RS 232, RS 485 via MA 8
• Reproducibility: ±1 mm
• Exact positioning at switches by means of special labels

The BPS 300i is the second generation of bar code positioning and sets standards both in performance characteristics and in handling. The new "availability control" function allows diagnosis to be performed during operation. The large working range of ±60 mm makes mechanical installation easier and precise measurements possible even if the distance to the tape varies.

• Availability control: To reliably prevent failures resulting from contamination, the device constantly reports its function reserve, thereby indicating possible problems due to contamination
• Easy handling: Fast, secure mounting and precise positioning of replacement devices through easy-mount mounting technology
• Absolute positioning up to 10,000 m with reproducible accuracy of ±0.15 mm
• Maximum speed 10 m/s
• Modularity: three selectable connection technologies, heating and display

The BPS 34 (with PROFIBUS interface) and BPS 37 (with SSI interface) bar code positioning systems are used wherever the system places complex demands in the areas of configuration, velocity measurement and traverse rate. In addition, optional optics heating facilitates the use of the devices even at temperatures below the freezing point.

• Absolute positioning up to 10,000 m
• Curve-going, horizontally and vertically
• Degree of protection: IP 65
• With PROFIBUS or SSI interface
• Maximum speed 10 m/s
• If areas of the bar code tape are damaged, a repair kit can be downloaded from the Internet
• Special labels permit the precise and problem-free positioning on/at switches
