500i Bar Code Reader 'OK' with Damaged Codes

Code reconstruction, integrated field bus connectivity, simplified installations without  need of interfacing units or gateways and simple parameterizations  are just  some  of the many features that make the new BCL 500i Series of  bar  code readers  ideal  for  monitoring the high speed flow  of  individual  components, cartons or complete palletized loads, guaranteeing correct code pickup and ultra- fast  delivery  to  the control/monitoring station even when  the  bar  code  is skewed, damaged or even dirty.

The  new  500i  Series  is being launched by Leuze Mayser,  a  company  with  an enviable record for technological innovation; the high performance specification of the new bar code scanner puts it squarely in this league.

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.  Integral to the superior data capture process  is  the  new high-performance  lens developed specifically for use in the  BCL  500i  barcode reader, giving it a ±30° asymmetrical optical angle of aperture creating a large scanning field even at close range.
