Safety applications according to "SIL 3/PL e" require strict compliance with the highest safety directives in order to optimally protect humans and machines at all times. While this safety level was previously associated with high cost and time investment, users now realize it more simply than ever before—with our new and worldwide unique "safePXV" and "safePGV" positioning systems.
Based on a multi-redundant technology, these systems enable safe absolute positioning according to SIL 3/PL e with one single sensor for the first time.

safePXV—Safe Positioning

The safePXV positioning system offers unparalleled reliability for linear absolute positioning. Due to its easy handling, it is suitable for a variety of different applications. The image shows the safePXV ensuring exact positioning of monorail conveyors in a production line. Additionally, it is used for stacker cranes in material handling, rotary tables, or for elevators and wind turbines.

safePGV—Safe Navigation

In addition to absolute positioning, the safePGV positioning system provides all data needed to reliably control AGVs. These are used in production lines in automotive industry. By transmitting Y position and angle, track deviations can be continuously corrected. Due to the safe X position, safePGV ensures the safety distance between the AGVs and thus protects personnel.
