Hand-Held Code Reader for Demanding Applications
Share:
Nuremberg, Germany. The Siemens Industry Automation Division has extended its code reader systems portfolio to include the new high-powered hand-held code reader
Simatic MV340.
The Simatic MV340 complements the portfolio of code reading systems from the Siemens Industry Automation Division. Its optimized evaluation algorithms and an integrated light source make Simatic MV340 one of the most powerful handheld readers worldwide, particularly suited to meet the most exacting requirements.
The handheld reader reads the most diverse direct part markings (DPM), including
linear bar codes and 2D symbols. Different codes can be read without having to reconfigure the unit. Thanks to its special evaluation logic, Simatic MV340 can even read complex, low-contrasting codes. Image processing algorithms have been optimized to enable decoding under adverse conditions. An integrated light ensures uninterrupted
and reliable operation. It supports the sensor in varying light conditions, and
automatically changes the colour and the angle of illumination so as to allow reading
of both printed and embossed codes on the most varied surface textures.
A USB cable is provided for communication and power supply purposes. Alternatively,
an optional accessory is available to provide the connection via RS232. The
reader's sturdy design makes it suitable for use in rough industrial environments.
