Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0937965A1] The system is for a unit moving along a positioner track. A code rail along the track determines the actual value of the unit position, and the unit has a reader for the code rail. The code rail (7) has first sections (16) with an incremental code, and second sections (17) with an absolute code. The sections alternate. The code rail has a carrier with a retro-reflective foil pref. glued to it, and a bar code printed on the foil.
