Low-cost Bar Code Sensor

Nov. 1, 2005
The PresencePLUS P4 BCR vision sensor reads advanced 2D and 1D bar codes including Data Matrix ECC200 and PDF 417, as well as linear codes such as Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN-8 and EAN-13 (supports UPC-A).

Priced at $1,995, including lens and lighting, the PresencePLUS P4 BCR bar code sensor sells for 50 percent less than comparable systems, says the vendor. Several features are designed to make the P4 BCR easy to install and use. Remote Teach allows the sensor to learn new features to inspect for, without connecting to a PC or shutting down the production line. A built-in live video output allows users to view the sensor’s inspections in real time and to view failed inspection images without a PC. The P4 BCR vision sensor interfaces to machinery or factory networks through a built-in 10/100 Ethernet connection or RS-232 serial input/outputs. It is available with two lens positions: in-line and right-angle.
