Compact 2D Barcode Reader



Keyence Corporation of America has added a fixed mount 1D and 2D barcode reader to its company line up of Auto ID products. According to the company, the SR-750 Series incorporates new and advanced decoding algorithms.

"Pre-processing techniques, such as brightness and contrast threshold correction, along with enhanced image filtering capabilities, help ensure images are optimized prior to decoding," said a company spokesperson. "Upgraded processing that includes localized binary threshold settings for unique regions of the code make the reader well suited for direct part marking applications. The high-speed search algorithm locates codes more quickly when the background image is complex."

The SR-750 also includes features designed to enhance ease of use and read reliability. Long range (over 3') and wide field of view models are available when the position of barcodes may vary.

Built-in communication and increased connectivity help provide easy integration to new and existing systems. EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP, PROFINET, FTP, RS-232c, Power over Ethernet and data editing functionality are included and available without the need for external communication units. Setup software automatically adjusts lighting and image filtering settings with one click. Preventative maintenance function can provide feedback and indicate when code printing or marking quality is deteriorating before code reading is impossible.
