Stahltronic - Position Encording System WCS
 Contact-free absolute encoder device for linear measurementˇˇ

The WCS position encoding system comprises in the main two components: the code rail, which is the information carrier for an absolute code, and the reading head, which scans the code rail opto-electronically.

The code rail is installed parallel to the runway of the vehicle and thus assigns a clear position to each point on the runway. It is possible to install the code rail only where positioning is required. The system permits the code rail to be installed in bends and branches to be constructed. The code rail is manufactured individually for each order and is supplied in a coil.
