Technical Overview
The Pepperl+Fuchs PXV000020M-CA25-000000 is a 20 m, 25 mm-wide Data Matrix code tape for compatible absolute positioning systems. Its single-row ECC200 tape uses a 12 x 12 symbol configuration, starts at 0 m, and is made from matte polyester laminate with a 150 µm material thickness and acrylate adhesive. The tape is specified for -40 to 100 °C operation after mounting at 10 to 40 °C, with resistance to UV, humidity, salt spray, oils, greases, fuels, aliphatic solvents, and weak acids; Pepperl+Fuchs lists the model and requests contact for delivery timing.
20 m adhesive Data Matrix code tape for compatible positioning systems, 25 mm wide and rated for -40 to 100 °C operation.
Key Features
- Passive Data Matrix code tape; no image sensor silicon or electronics
- 20 m length, 25 mm width, single-row design, and 0 m start position
- ECC200 Data Matrix code type with 12 x 12 symbol size; not a pixel-resolution camera
- Intended for compatible Pepperl+Fuchs absolute positioning systems; no electrical interface or bandwidth
- No onboard processing, AI, connector, or memory; the read head performs code detection
- Self-adhesive acrylate-backed polyester laminate for fixed mounting; 150 µm material thickness
- Manufacturer mass is 6.3 g/m; 20 m tape mass is approximately 0.126 kg before packaging
- Rated operating temperature -40 to 100 °C; installation temperature 10 to 40 °C
- Manufacturer product listing and 2025 datasheet remain available; contact Pepperl+Fuchs for delivery estimate
A 20 m adhesive Data Matrix reference strip supports continuous absolute-position readout with compatible P+F systems.

Suggested applications
Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Absolute position reference for a linear carriage
A long-travel cart or lifting axis may need a continuous position reference along a rail without installing a separate marker at every location.
Potential use
The single-row Data Matrix tape can provide a coded reference for a compatible Pepperl+Fuchs positioning read head. Confirm the head/tape system match, alignment, mounting surface, and commissioned reader settings before operation.

2. Position tracking on a material-handling route
A transfer system may require a durable coded strip along a guided path to identify position for sequencing and docking tasks.
Potential use
The adhesive polyester tape may be applied to a suitable clean surface as the coded reference for a matched positioning system. Validate chemical exposure, surface preparation, 72-hour adhesive cure, alignment, and accuracy requirements in the installation.
