Barcode reader for Datamatrix and linear codes

April 2012 Sensors & Transducers

Banner Engineering has introduced a versatile, competitively priced bar code reader that is easily configured from its touch-screen. The new iVu BCR reads DataMatrix and all standard linear bar codes and includes the ability to read multiple codes of different types in the same image. Information is output via serial port and an intuitive multilanguage user interface allows for easy configuration without the need for a PC.

The reader’s extensive capabilities make it appropriate for a wide range of identification and verification applications. These include packaging, component tracking for automotive and other assembly operations, pharmaceutical and medical products, material handling and distribution, food and beverage and electronics. The unit’s compact IP67 housing withstands harsh industrial environments.

The menu-driven interface and colour LCD touch-screen controls allow easy setup and changes to inspection parameters. A software emulator lets users optimise their applications offline, while A USB 2.0 interface is provided for easy updating and diagnostics. Image processing expertise is not required.

In addition to DataMatrix, the iVu BCR reads the following linear codes: Code 128, Code39, CodaBar, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN13, EAN8, UPCE, Postnet, IMB and Pharmacode.

All information is displayed on the LCD screen, an adjustable focus lens makes image acquisition fast and easy and cables, mounting brackets, lenses, filters and external light rings are available to support all applications.
