TR Electronic releases posiTRax positioning system
July 9, 2009 - TR Electronic released posiTRax, a dynamic, laser-based positioning system designed for cranes, rack feeders, carriage systems and other rail-bound vehicles and material handling systems. With easy-to-use software and full compatibility with other vendor’s discontinued systems (such as the ICS-5000), the posiTRax provides for seamless integration.

By providing adaptive software that learns crane or vehicle movements and positioning, the posiTRax generates a reference curve to model the correct position. posiTRax provides full closed-loop feedback for up to 4 axes and like its predecessors , provides the ideal solution for fast and safe, synchronous operation.

Application Examples
  • Direct Replacement for ICS-5000 positioning systems (a legacy material handling solution)
  • Cranes with difficult positioning applications
  • Rack feeders that have high masts and very fast cycle times
  • Fast startups with Simultaneous positioning of multiple axes
  • Pendulum protection for cranes and RGBs
  • Gateway for other positioning controllers

    Control Specifications
  • Positioning distance......................... 250mm to 240m (up to ~787 feet)
  • Positioning accuracy........................ +/1 mm up to 4 mm
  • Controllable Traveling speed............. up to 3.5m/second (~11.5 feet/s)
  • Interface......................................... Analog (± 10 V) / Profibus-DP
  • Resolution....................................... 0.7 mm
  • Accuracy......................................... ± 2 mm

    TR Electronic is offering a product upgrade and trade-in program for organizations that have legacy based dynamic positioning systems and are looking for a plug-in replacement.
