Microscan’s miniature mega pixel imager Quadrus MINI high-resolution imager offers true auto-focus for industrial product identification. It will be introduced at ATExpo, September 27 – 29, in Booth 5729.
 
In the past, to achieve adjustable focus in changing applications, the imager’s hardware had to be physically calibrated for each new symbol distance. When using the MINI, all the operator needs to do is plug it in.
 
“The MINI imager performs much like an off the shelf digital camera,” said Microscan president Dennis Kaill. “You point it at the object of interest, in this case the symbol, and push the EZ button. It automatically focuses on the symbol and sets the exposure time, gain and illumination intensity. ” 
 
Designed for demanding, high performance applications in electronics manufacturing, it reads both linear bar codes and 2-D codes such as Data Matrix directly marked on boards and components. Ultra compact size (1.8”  x  2.10” x 1”, weight less than 2 ounces) and high resolution optics provide a wide scan window.
 
Featuring a mega pixel sensor with an extra wide field of view and proprietary algorithms, reads long bar codes omni-directionally and high density 2-D symbols. Has auto-focus, EZ button setup and green flash good read indicator.  Customizable data output and Windows’ based interface allows integration into existing platforms with minimal programming.
