The positioning system’s 2-D read heads detect position using the Data Matrix codes printed on the code tape. Users can parameterize the read heads and configure the inputs and outputs to meet the demands of the application. Pepperl+Fuchs offers read heads for a range of requirements.

The read head records position information from the Data Matrix codes printed on the code tape and outputs it as X, Y position values. The code tape can be tailored to the application, with any starting position and a total length of up to 100 km. This even makes the Data Matrix positioning systems suitable for large systems and complex routes.

A positioning system also needs the right accessories. In addition to read heads and code tape, the Data Matrix positioning system portfolio also includes the appropriate connection cables, mounting aids, and programming cable sets for connecting to the Vision Configurator parameterization software, for instance.
