New stationary barcode code scanners
April 2017
Sensors & Transducers
Wenglor’s new stationary code scanners eliminate the need for time-consuming software installation and configuration. Simply unpack, plug in, and users are ready to scan in 1D or 2D. Auto-setup, auto-focus and newly developed decoding algorithms automatically provide outstanding reading performance against almost any background.
With their extensive scope of capabilities and functions, the C5KC and C5PC code scanners have application in the automotive, pharmaceuticals and food industries, as well as packaging and electronics where numerous track and trace tasks are required.
Scan settings can be accessed via the intuitive user interface of the Wenglor Web-link for optimised reading of damaged and high resolution codes. They boast one of the smallest available formats for 1D/2D code scanners, making them ideal for use in compact machines, and with the reading speed of 60 scans/sec, they are well suited for applications with high throughput rates.
Due to the integrated Ethernet port, the sensors are an ideal solution for customer requirements in the field of Industry 4.0.
The diverse range of applications covered by the scanners include product identification and traceability, checking for completeness and quality inspection of 1D/2D barcodes and reading of all common 1D/2D codes (Code 128, UPC/EAN, DotCode, QR and DataMatrix, as well as scanning of 1D/2D barcodes on all surfaces such as PCBs, metal and pallets. Even laser printed and needle punched data-matrix codes are no problem for the new scanner series.
These miniature devices’ housing is sized at 25 x 45 x 45 mm.
