Pepperl+Fuchs PGV100RS-F213 Read Head Review: Specs and Uses of the Compact Ethernet Positioning Read Head
Updated: 7 days ago
The Pepperl+Fuchs PGV100RS-F213 is a compact, fast version of the PGV read head for mobile robots. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The F213 trades features for speed and size. It scans 100 times per second with 20 ms latency, four times the rate of the F200 heads, and is only 35 mm deep with a fixed 0.7 m cable. It timestamps each capture and can synchronize with other sensors, which matters when fusing data on an AMR. It talks TCP/IP over Ethernet and reads Data Matrix tape at up to 8 m/s with ±0.4 mm accuracy and 0.2 mm resolution. Protection is IP54, lower than other PGV heads. No price is listed.
