Optical Positioning System

Material handling systems, automated overhead cranes, and other automated machinery often need an accurate way to determine the exact position of the moving machines or elements. You can use this information to assure correct vehicle spacing, provide material storage locations, or to give position feedback. The Conductix-Wampfler Optical Positioning System (OPS) offers a complete solution to supply the needed position information along a fixed rail. You can integrate our OPS into new installations or easily retrofit it onto existing applications.

The Optical Positioning System:

  • Provides a complete system solution for conductor bar mounting
  • Installs easily in either new or existing bar systems – no special tools required
  • Meets PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and PROFIsafe protocols
