Safety barcode positioning system FBPS

Safety barcode positioning system FBPS from Leuze, requires just one sensor for fast and safe position detection! This unique device is certified with PL e, allowing easy implementation of safety functions and the reduced time and effort for installation and servicing.

Detect position safely and fast

Safety barcode positioning system FBPS from Leuze is the world’s first system that requires just one sensor for safe position detection. It is connected to a safe evaluation unit (e.g. a frequency inverter) via two SSI interfaces and suitable for applications up to performance level e (PL e).

Consequently, it enables extremely easy implementation of safety functions, as wel as the reduced time and effort required for installation and servicing.

Advantages of the positioning system at a glance

Safety Barcode Positioning System Leuze
  • Safe position detection with just one device up to PL e
  • Reliable operation with simultaneous reading of several codes
  • Extremely easy implementation of safety functions
  • Low space requirements and reduced installation effort
  • Short fault reaction time (10 ms)
  • Extremely robust, mechanically resilient and UV-resistant barcode tape

Use the FBPS on fast stacker cranes

One of the many uses for the FBPS positioning system is safe position detection on stacker cranes. For the necessary safe position and speed monitoring, e.g., during maintenance or with manned cars, safe position detection is required.

Once the dangers present at the system and the necessary Performance Level are determined with a risk assessment, the FBPS offers safe position detection with just one device. This safety barcode positioning system satisfies the requirements for PL e/SIL 3 and makes the implementation of the safety functions especially simple. ​

Highlights of the barcode positioning system

FBPS Leuze, detect position with one device up to PL e

Detect position with 1 device, up to PLe​

The FBPS enables fast and safe position detection with only one device. This device is connected to a safe evaluation unit via two SSI interfaces.

Furthermore, the device already meets the requirements for PL e/SIL 3. As a result, safety functions can be implemented extremely easily and the time and effort required for installation and servicing is reduced.​

Detect fast movements

The barcode positioning system is ideal for position detection in your applications characterized by fast movements, e.g. on stacker cranes.

For this purpose, the  FBPS features an extremely short error reaction time – just 10 ms. This enables the optimization of speed curves and handling performance.​

Ensure reliable operation

The FBPS works extremely reliably, as each scanning operation reads several codes simultaneously, enabling the software to determine the precise position values. Due to the diagonal path of the scanning beam and the movement of the device, each code is scanned at different points. In this way, reading errors caused by local soiling or damage are prevented.​

Also the self-adhesive plastic barcode tape is optimized for use in industrial environments. It is UV resistant, extremely resilient and mechanically durable, while the printed position values are easy to read and simplify handling. ​

Mount it fast and correctly

The thougtful fastening concept of the FBPS with quick-change system ensures a simple mounting of the device. The FBPS is securely mounted to the clamp bracket using an easily accessible screw. This concept saves your time during installation and allows you to change the device quickly if servicing is required.

Furthermore, thanks to its wide working range 50-170 mm, you will easily integrate the FBPS into the existing systems.​
