Code-reading camera
A camera designed for incorporation into systems for performing basic code identification tasks can read variable data with high reliability while ident­ifying text and codes with an accuracy as high as 99.9%, even at high production speeds. The user-friendly camera can be integrated easily into existing production facilities, requiring neither extensive training nor complex reorganization. Consisting of a digital camera within a sensor housing with circular illumination in comb­ination with a control unit based on a personal computer, the system operates with intuitive recognition software that makes the application of new reading processes easy. By means of feature-based optical character reading (OCR), it registers up to 100 alphanumeric characters of medium-quality print or better per second. The camera can read data printed on labels, sealed caps, or cardboard boxes, including OCR-A, OCR-B, and other character types. Upgrades are offered. Vitronic Dr. Ing. Stein Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH, Wiesbaden, Germany.
