Overhead monorail conveyors are used for internal transportation of production materials. They are popular in the car industry, where engines, drivetrains, doors and entire car bodies are transported along the production line, for example. A complete monorail conveyor system is composed of a trajectory system and multiple monorail conveyors. You can create very sensitive roads along the trajectory, including up and down slopes in straight tracks, as well as corners and intersections. Conveyors move autonomously along the trajectory, carrying heavy loads of material, transporting them safely and reliably, even between several floors within a building.
It is necessary for monorail conveyors to be 100% fail-safe, as even a single belt failure can be costly. Extremely high availability and a very low fault rate are essential for on-time and efficient production in the passenger car industry. In order to prevent collisions and downtime, it is necessary to position the hangers with certain accuracy on long distances on cluttered roads. It is necessary for the central control system to know the orientation of each conveyor belt on the road at all times. This is the only way to ensure transparency in production and to help quickly in the event of a problem.
The PXV Positive Positioning System consists of a read head and a Data Matrix code band, providing a solution for accurate positioning. When the tape is installed along the rail, the 2-D camera is mounted 100mm away from the conveyor belt (tolerances available). The Data Matrix code tape is read by a 2-D camera to obtain positive orientation information and output to the control system. With a width of only 25 mm, the strip is narrow enough to be easily mounted on the power path of a monorail conveyor. With a maximum measurement length of up to 100km, an azimuth resolution of ±0.2mm, and a read head running speed of up to 8m/s, the PXV system provides extremely high measurement accuracy and satisfies the requirements for positive azimuth positioning on long distances and chaotic trajectories.
Ability traits
■Accurate measurement resolution of ±0.2mm, maximum trajectory length up to 100km
■Conveying speed: 8m/s
■ DataMatrix tape for easy installation
■ Interface: RS485, SSI, EtherNet/IP or PROFINET
■ Touchless and maintenance-free
■ Safe SafePXV in accordance with SIL 3/PL e and PROFIsafe safety regulations
The PXV system is convenient and reliable, touchless, maintenance-free and does not incur costs for many years. Calibration and maintenance distances are required to apply other skills, as there are no moving parts in the PXV system. For the maintenance of people and machinery, the safe safePXV in accordance with the PROFIsafe safety protocol enables safe positive positioning with only a single sensor in accordance with SIL 3/PL e safety regulations.
bright spot
■ The best and most reliable positive positioning system: a unique combination of visual imaging and Data Matrix code bands
■ Highly sensitive: non-touch positioning up to 100,000m away
■ Multi-code redundancy technology is used to ensure overall reliability, even when a readable code is polluted or damaged
■ Self-adhesive tape quick device: The camera has a wide reading window and a high depth of field
