Sick Lector642 image-based code reader

The Lector642 image-based code reader is designed for demanding code reading applications. Changing object heights and reading distances, wide visual ranges, randomly aligned 1D and 2D codes, and fast transport speeds are some of the challenges that the Lector642 can overcome, due to its high camera resolution, and fast serial image shooting and decoding functions. It also offers a variety of fieldbus options and extensive analysis functions.

The Lector642 code reader is available in a ‘Flex’ version with individually adjustable illumination settings and lenses, making it a technically and economically efficient solution due to its flexibility of application.

The ‘PANORAMA’ accessory for all Lector642 and Lector65x models makes it possible to achieve a field of view that is about 50% larger with the same code resolution.

The Lector642 has a resolution of 1.7 MP, meaning the device can reliably identify a standard 1D code with a line width of 0.35 mm in a reading field with a width of 400 mm. Whether barcode, Data Matrix, MaxiCode or QR code, the Lector642’s decoding algorithms ensure that even codes with poor levels of contrast or areas that have been damaged can reliably be detected and evaluated.

Serial interfaces, I/Os, USB, CAN and Ethernet-based fieldbuses, such as TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP and Profinet, are already integrated in the code readers, as are the function blocks. Other fieldbuses, such as Profibus, are available in the form of connection modules.
