CCD camera is a flexible, rapid and reliable identification system for use within logistical processes in high-end shipping and sorting markets.
With its imaging quality, making it suitable for all kinds of barcode reading, OCR and video coding tasks, the ICR890 CCD camera from Sick for high-end shipping and sorting markets is a flexible, rapid and reliable identification system for use within logistical processes.
The camera's modular design includes fully integrated illumination, focus control and high-performance decoder.
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.
