Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor system that simultaneously detects the positions of multiple movable carriages along a motion path. The sensor system includes a plurality of sensors arranged at least along a subsection of the motion path, wherein each sensor is designed for a contactless detection of a measuring element provided on each movable carriage. The sensor system also includes a processing device, which is connected electrically with the sensors and which is designed for a synchronous detection of sensor signals of the sensors.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A linear transport system comprising: a linear motor arrangement; a plurality of movable carriages, said plurality of movable carriages including a first movable carriage and a second movable carriage, the first and second movable carriages being movable along a motion path of the linear motor arrangement; a first measuring element attached to the first movable carriage; a second measuring element attached to the second movable carriage; and a sensor…
