Product Details Supplier Info More products

Microscan has launched a new ultra-high definition (UHD) imagers on its Microhawk platform. The Microhawk UHD imagers are able to decode very small and difficult to read barcodes, including Data Matrix two-dimensional (2D) symbols and Direct Part Marks (DPM) used for example in electronics manufacturing. Users can rely on their capability to read symbols where the x-dimension or barcode module of the tiniest bar is as small as 2 mil or 0.05 mm, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Space, or the lack of it, can be a challenge when placing barcodes or Data Matrix symbols on electronics components. However, readable barcodes are critical to component traceability, time/date stamping, work in progress (WIP) tracking and recall management. Whether it be a printed label or Direct Part Mark in a difficult location, the new Microhawk UHD imagers with Microscan’s X-Mode decoding algorithms can take on the challenge.

The new UHD options are now available in all three Microhawk models ID-20, ID-30, and ID-40, as well as the MV-20, MV-30 and MV-40 smart cameras, with the SXGA 1.3MP sensor option.

There are two fixed focus options available. The 64mm reading distance is ideal for decoding 2D symbols down to 2 mil, printed on labels or directly marked on parts, while the fixed focus option at 400mm is aimed at decoding printed or DPM 2D symbols down to 10 mil. An autofocus option will be available soon.

The Microhawk range includes a fully-integrated imaging engine and three industrial-rated miniature imagers. Together with Microscan’s browser-based WebLink user interface for barcode reading, simplified AutoVISION Machine Vision Software, or the advanced Visionscape® Machine Vision Software, the Microhawk platform offers imaging of any code, text, or part feature to accomplish any automation task based on visible data. Microhawk offers users a single hardware solution with options to meet various decoding or inspection tasks, in any integration space, and at any experience level.
