Sick LECTOR620 OCR camera-based code reader

Click2Contact

The main strength of the LECTOR620 OCR is claimed to be its reading of printed plain text and simultaneous identification of all conventional 1D and 2D codes. The camera-based code reader offers simple commissioning and suitability for differing types of font, which can also be taught-in during running machine operation.

The stationary and dynamic detection of numbers, letters, symbols and codes is highly reliable, even with critical print quality, due to intelligent decoding algorithms. The most frequent areas of use for the LECTOR620 OCR include reading use-by dates and batch numbers on food and pharmaceutical packages, identifying data matrix codes in particular, and monitoring the feeding-in of packaging and blanks to packaging machines.

With integrated red and blue illumination, the LECTOR620 OCR ensures optimum lighting of the reading field at all times, regardless of the contrast. The code reader permits the detection of plain text letters, symbols and numbers at distances of between 30 and 300 mm. This is possible both while stationary and at speeds of up to 4 m/s. The integrated text-finder ensures that plain text can be reliably read or compared even with printing tolerances on the packaging.

The teach-in of texts takes place in teach mode. No special software is required for teaching-in letters, symbols and numbers because the code reader also has an integrated web server. In addition, fonts can be rapidly copied from one device to as many other devices as required via PC or MicroSD card.
