A camera-based code reader for fast decoding of 1D, stacked and 2D codes has been developed for equipment used in packaging systems, automation, robotics, and production.

From Leuze Electronics, the DCR 200i can detect and identify bar codes, stacked codes, and DataMatrix code.

The reader can be adapted to the requirements of any application with respect to function, range, and power – and offers a high reading performance with speeds of up to 6m/s.

A configuration wizard is integrated in the WebConfig tool via an Ethernet interface.

This guides the user quickly and easily through the setup process and simplifies commissioning.

For simple applications, the DCR 200i is operated as a standalone device with an IP address in an Ethernet star topology – with the serial (RS 232 or RS 422) or with configurable 4 x I/O.

Set-up for the reading task can be done without a PC using just two buttons on the device and a smartphone app.

The selectable optic variants High Density (N optics), Medium Density (M optics) and Low Density (F optics) cover reading distances of approximately 40 to 360mm.

Leuze Electronics will be demonstrating the DCR 200i at stand 116 at Auspack.
