The Inspector's rugged IP67-protected metal housing ensures it can withstand harsh industrial and production line environments, for quality assurance inspection in any location or orientation.
Incremental encoders provide smooth running
Bearings are separated as widely as possible within the encoder body, to achieve smooth and vibration-free running.
Depending on the application, proprietary products, such as the company's VMS400 volume measurement system or MLG modular light grid, can be integrated into one system using Can connectivity with the company's MSC800 system controller.
The illumination is optimised without the need for adjustment to provide homogeneous lighting over a wide range of reading situations.
The receiving optics can cover the most demanding reading situations in terms of resolution, depth of field and field of view.
The integrated decoder includes an industrial PC board, flash and RAM memory and runs on an embedded Windows XP operating system.
The omnidirectional system has advantages when processes regularly see small barcodes that must be read at high speeds, dirty or weakly contrasting codes and barcodes with highly fluctuating module widths.
The unit's reading field covers all common conveyor belt widths up to 1m and travel speeds up to 4.8m/s are within its capabilities.
The depth of field is between 1100mm, with a minimum resolution of 0.2mm, and 1400mm with resolutions of 0.3mm, depending on the application and installation.
A high-speed image output with 2Gbit Ethernet channels can be used for video coding or OCR applications.
The integrated JPeg encoder can display real-time compressed pictures to reduce the data rate to the host system.
User-friendly set-up, modular system components and camera cloning have been included.
