Sensors on the vehicle for position measurement

Various sensor systems permanently installed on the carriage transmit the current status to the control system. The system calculates these values' current position and speed in real-time.

Conductix-Wampfler relies on state-of-the-art photoelectric sensors and scanner systems and has maintained development partnerships with well-known manufacturers for years. Depending on the functional task of the system and the existing operating environment, the appropriate solution is implemented by Conductix-Wampfler in close consultation with the customer.
