Universal code reader reads all common 1D and 2D codes

Compact, economical and easy-to-mount and configure, the new MAC335 Universal Code Reader has been launched by Pepperl+Fuchs. The stationary barcode imager reads the most common 1D and 2D code symbologies without having to change settings. It’s extremely high 1.3MP resolution enables it to accurately and reliably read small and large codes at distances ranging from 20-300mm at three readings per second.

Product Manager, Pepperl+Fuchs, Tim Cicerchi said: “Embedded JavaScript makes the MAC335 a particularly unique stationary code reader.”

Cicerchi continued: “JavaScript allows you to link the code reader into all common programs, so that you can perform evaluations on the code reader itself. JavaScript functionality often means that no PC is required.”

The MAC335 universal code reader also features Pepperl+Fuchs’ standard operator interface, Vision-Configurator. Vision Configurator allows you to set parameters intuitively and displays images from the reader. Using Data Matrix control codes to parameterise the MAC335 eliminates the need for separate operating software. As a result, configuration, startup, and testing processes are simple and fast.

These 24VDC devices offer IP65 protection, and are rated for use in temperatures ranging from 0-50°C (32-122°F).

The MAC335 are well suited for use in any number of industries, including packaging, print and paper, automobile, material handling, and pharma.
