The new FBPS 600i safety barcode positioning system from Leuze makes it possible to reliably detect the position with just one sensor. The FBPS 600i is connected to a safe evaluation unit via two SSI interfaces and is suitable for applications up to performance level e.
The following applies in intralogistics: storage and retrieval machines and transverse transfer carriages must not endanger employees. Positions and speeds must be monitored during maintenance work or when the car is in operation and occupied. Until now, system manufacturers have had to rely on a redundant setup with two sensors in order to achieve performance level d.
With the new FBPS 600i safety barcode positioning system from Leuze a single sensor that already fulfils the requirements for Performance Level e is sufficient. This makes it particularly easy to implement safety functions. The connection is made via two SSI interfaces to a safe connection unit, for example to a frequency inverter. The FBPS 600i also saves space in the system and the installation effort is significantly reduced.
The FBPS 600i impresses with its Error response time of just ten milliseconds. This makes it particularly suitable for recording the position during fast movements. Important parameters such as speed curves and handling performance can be optimised in this way. The sensor's large operating range of 50 to 170 millimetres also enables flexible integration into different systems.
