Intended Use

Attention!
The protection of personnel and the device cannot be guaranteed if the device is operated
in a manner not corresponding to its intended use.
Barcode positioning systems of the type BPS 37 are optical measuring systems which use
visible red laser light to determine the position of the BPS relative to a permanently mounted
barcode band.
Typically, the BPS is mounted on a (rail-)guided vehicle whose position is to be exactly
determined.
The position is determined to within a millimetre using the information of the fixed barcode
band and made available to the primary system at a suitable interface.
The optional connector and interface units MA 4.7/MA 4D.7 are intended for the easy
connection of barcode positioning systems of type BPS 37.
In particular, unauthorised uses include:
• rooms with explosive atmospheres
• operation for medical purposes
Areas of application
The barcode positioning system BPS 37 with optional connection unit MA 4.7/MA 4D.7 has
been designed particularly for the following fields of application:
• High-bay storage devices and lifting gear
• Crane systems
• Side-tracking skates
• Transfer machines
• Telpher lines
