Application

Anywhere systems are moved automatically, it is necessary to correctly determine their
positions. This is achieved using various measurement techniques. In addition to mechan-
ical measurement sensors, optical methods are particularly well suited for determining posi-
tions as they operate without mechanical wear and slippage.
Unlike other optical measurement methods, the barcode positioning system is not restricted
to linear movements. It can also be used flexibly in curved systems. Anywhere the long-
wearing barcode band can be attached, it is possible to use the BPS to determine the posi-
tion to within a millimetre.
Guide tolerances of the system play no roll as the permitted separation between band and
BPS allows for large deviations in distance.
