Keyence data matrix code reader boasts wide field of view and more

With 3.1 million pixels - the best in its class - the SR2000 series sensor provides a field of view more than two times that of conventional sensors. For example, the number of electronic components marked with 0.19 mm 2D codes that can fit in the field of view increases from 15 to 50.

A 1.6x increase in sensitivity over conventional models means noise can be successfully reduced considerably. For example, images can be obtained even when an extremely short exposure time of just 100 μs is required.

And the newly designed lens offers a greater depth of field that allows the code reader to be installed outside the work flow area, ensuring a flexible layout. Moreover, even if an image has low resolution at long ranges, the high resolution algorithm ensures reliable reading. Two all-new algorithms allow for 30% more reading distance compared with conventional readers. Detection automatically switches between pattern matching for barcodes and up-converting (enlarging and correcting) for 2D codes.
