Bar code reader ok with damaged codes

Code reconstruction, integrated field bus connectivity, and simplified installations without need of interfacing units or gateways and simple parameterizations are just some of the many features highlighted by supplier Leuze Mayser. Unlike simple scanning systems where the full bar code is recognized by a single continuous scan, the code reconstruction technology of the 500i gathers data from several high-speed passes, and via bespoke Leuze software, is able to completely rebuild the correct identity despite a code label being misaligned or partially damaged. With a specification list that shows an adjustable scanning rate of 800 to 1200 scans per second and a reading field of 200 by 1600 mm it is easy to understand why Leuze Mayser is targeting high-speed handlings and transfer applications, typically those found in component manufacture, food processing and packaging areas, high-speed sorting processes in distribution warehouses. A host of connectivity services come as standard with the 500i scanner including serial interfaces for RS 232 or RS 422 and RS 485, plus additional communication channels which can each be configured individually as real-time Ethernet, field bus interfaces such as ProfiBus and Leuze's own multiNet facility for networking applications. The 500i Series is the very latest high-end, high-speed performance bar reader to be unveiled by Leuze Mayser in the UK and becomes an integral part of the well established BCL series, creating a range that has a model to suit virtually any application, whether its in a food processing environment, low temperature store or a distribution centre. The range is continually evolving to ensure the Leuze brand is recognized worldwide for high specifications, superior performance and ultra-reliable bar code readers and scanners.
