Data Matrix Positioning System PCV [Animation]
Reliable position detection by 2D-code band and modern camera technology
The Data Matrix Positioning System PCV uses a self-adhesive data matrix code band which is scanned by a read head with integrated camera. The data matrix code as information carrier offers a high degree of data density on a small surface area and many advantages in the application:
- Extremely narrow code band with several codes
- Smallest curve radii possible
- Implementation of inclines and declines
- Partially destroyed code band legible
- Code band can be obscured up to 20 mm
The code band is available to a length of 10,000 meters. Several code lines on the band allow the additional positioning in Y-direction. For generating control signals a band strip - the Event Marker - can be affixed on the band.
