The industry's trend towards batch size 1 production is driving development in manufacturing process automation. In order to guarantee short throughput times despite individualized products, and to remain competitive in production, Sick offers adapted detection and reading solutions, such as the new Lector61x.
The smallest code reader camera measures just 30 mm x 40 mm x 50 mm and completes the Lector series for the detection of 1D, 2D and stacked codes. In addition to the logistics and automotive industries, they are used for component traceability, notably in the sensitive and miniaturized electronics industry and in general industry for component, device and printed circuit board identification, as well as for date code control, serialization and package content monitoring in the consumer goods industry.
Thanks to its compact housing with integrated cables, it can be optimally installed in production lines with limited space. According to Sick, the Lector61x features excellent reading properties for very small codes, with poor quality or short read distances. The Lector61x can even read codes that are not visible to the naked eye. Thanks to a clever algorithm, its high-performance DPM decoder can perfectly read laser-etched or micro-percussion codes, even in the event of low contrast, contamination or poor-quality code.
The flexible lighting concept with eight LEDs and two colors can be flexibly controlled, ensuring reliable code identification whatever the surface or color. The new focus adjustment, featuring a "time-of-flight" distance sensor and laser sight, makes commissioning quick and easy.
