Abstract

A sensor system that simultaneously detects the positions of multiple movable carriages along a motion path. The sensor system includes a plurality of sensors arranged at least along a subsection of the motion path, wherein each sensor is designed for a contactless detection of a measuring element provided on each movable carriage. The sensor system also includes a processing device, which is connected electrically with the sensors and which is designed for a synchronous detection of sensor signals of the sensors.
