FAQs

What are the differences between the PGV-100R and the PGV-I sensor?

From a technical standpoint, there are three areas where the two sensors differ:

Cables In the new PGV-100R sensor, the connection cables are integrated in the sensor. This means that cables no longer need to be ordered seperately.
Light The PGV-100R sensor uses visible (red) light to scan barcodes whereas the PGV-I sensor used invisible infrared light. The performance of the scanning will be unaffected.
Design Unlike the PGV-I sensor, the PGV-100R sensor is a Kollmorgen-specific product, which means it will be designed in the stylish, dark blue color that you associate with the Kollmorgen brand.

Why is the PGV-100R sensor being replaced?

We have identified several components in the PGV sensor that could be replaced to make the product more cost-efficient while still maintaining the same level of high performance.

Can I still purchase the PGV-I sensor?

The PGV-I sensor is not a Kollmorgen-specific product and can still be purchased directly from Pepperl+Fuchs.

Where can I find more information about the new PGV-100R sensor?
