At the heart of the position guided vision positioning systems are the read heads. Consisting of a camera system with an internal illumination unit and powerful signal processing, the PGV and safePGV read heads are rugged and compact. They fit perfectly into even the smallest driverless transport systems (AGVs). With IP67 protection, the PGV and safePGV are also suitable for outdoor use.

Powerful LEDs make the read heads insensitive to environmental influences. Neither extraneous light nor highly reflective surfaces impair the performance of the PGV and safePGV. This means contrast bands are not required. The large reading window combined with 2-D image recording ensures that the read heads reliably detect even damaged or dirty tracking tape.

The read heads are available with all common interfaces. Plug-and-play connectivity makes them easy to get up and running along with the code and color tape. The camera is parameterized via the vehicle control unit, a parameterization tool, or code cards.
