Camera-based positioning systems

Pepperl+Fuchs utilizes different technologies to provide industrial positioning systems for virtually any optical positioning task. Our product range of camera-based positioning systems includes:

  • Data Matrix positioning systems (PXV, safePXV) with high reliability for long-distance measurement
  • Position Guided Vision positioning systems (PGV, safePGV) for reliable navigation of driverless tranport systems
  • Precision Positioning (PHA) for precise positioning of stacker cranes

Product Portfolio

Camera-Based Linear Positioning (PCV, PXV)

Camera-Based Linear Positioning (PCV, PXV)

The PXV and PCV Data Matrix positioning systems and the safety versions combine a 2-D camera system with multi-redundant Data Matrix code tape. This enables precise position detection and is suitable for use in warehouse and conveyor systems or lifting and elevator systems. With code redundancy and large reading windows, the Data Matrix positioning systems reliably detect position even if the code tape is dirty or damaged. Code tape lengths of up to 100 km allow their use in expansive installations. With the safePXV and safePXV/PUS, Pepperl+Fuchs offers two safety versions that enable safe absolute positioning up to SIL 3/PL e.

Camera-Based Track Guidance (PGV)

Camera-Based Track Guidance (PGV)

The optical position guided vision (PGV) positioning system combines route trackingvia colored tape and accurate positioning via Data Matrix codes in one device. It ensures reliable navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), whether in material handling or automotive manufacturing applications. Due to its large reading window, PGV reliably detects colored route tracking tape and paint, even around tight curves or if tape is dirty. Data Matrix codes can be used for turning, accurately positioning an AGV, and other tasks. The safety absolute positioning system (safePGV) enables safe absolute positioning according to SIL 3/PL e for the first time with just a single sensor.

Precision Positioning PHA

Precision Positioning (PHA)

The optical PHA positioning system has been specially developed for precise positioning in high-bay warehouses. The PHA’s unique camera system uses existing drill holes in rack systems for positioning. This means no additional targets are necessary. With internal illumination and contrast compensation, PHA positions independently of interferences such as dirt, ambient light, or material fatigue. With a temperature range down to -30 °C, PHA can even be used in deep-freeze warehouses.
