Readers make sense of 2D barcodes
To complement and extend the functionality of its extensive range of barcode readers and vision systems Leuze Mayser has added a series of two-dimensional code readers.
It uses a high-grade stainless steel V4A (316L) sensor housing, has an IP69K rating and is suitable for applications in elevated temperatures.
Applications include food processing, food filling, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
The series 55 stainless steel sensors are particularly useful in the wet areas of a production line, where the wash-down design makes it possible to thoroughly clean the entire system with all common cleaning agents and processes.
The nondiffusive and chemically resistant materials used in the optics and operational controls and the gap-free construction of the sensors prevent bacterial carry-overs.
Moreover, the enclosed housing technology and expanded temperature range from -20 to +70C combine to ensure long-lasting functionality.
The new 55 series of sensors is available in formats including throughbeam and retro-reflective models that are suitable for detection of clear film and glass or PET bottles, laser sensors for small parts as well as scanners including models with background suppression with high scanning rates.
