Code reader checks direct part marks
The ICR840 2D code reader is designed especially for applications in which directly marked stationary objects require identification.
The new ICR840 2D code reader from Sick (UK) is designed especially for applications in which directly marked stationary objects require identification Direct part marking (DPM) is gaining in favour - with increasing miniaturisation and the ever-growing demand for traceability

Capacitive proximity sensors for more reliability
Erwin Sick sensors have been extended with the introduction of the new capacitive proximity series with a high EMC immunity towards ESD, Burst, communication interference and conducted noise
Wide range of Ex approved sensors added by Sick
A host of sensors tested by the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology and Exi-approved have recently augmented Sick's range of inductive and magnetic proximity switches.
Whether by ink jet, laser or dot peening, the variety of directly marked objects in production, manufacturing and logistics environments, is growing.
To cater for these demands, typical applications for the ICR840 include the identification of: electronic components; airbag cartridges; address information; or unique identification marks such as data matrix codes on medical products and components for the automotive and aerospace industries.
The ICR840 houses a CMOS matrix sensor with a resolution of 1.3Mpixel, it offers an image repeat rate that can be adapted for the particular task, an image field of 45 x 35mm2 and a resolution of 0.15mm.
For specific applications, the reading field can be restricted, to allow the image repeat rate to be increased (with a comparable VGA resolution of 640 x 480 pixel) when the location of the barcodes on the target object is known.
The ICR840-read information or Jpeg images can also be transferred via the integrated Ethernet interface.
With its CLV setup interface, the ICR 840 offers a familiar look and feel during commissioning which is further simplified thanks to integrated software assistants and its Ethernet connection.
Sick (UK) also offers the ICR850 - with a scanning frequency of 15kHz it is intended for applications in which objects must be identified while in motion.
