Benefits
Mobile and Stationary Sensors
Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide range of mobile and stationary code readers that cover all conventional code symbologies. The powerful devices read all common 1-D and 2-D codes with high reliability, regardless of whether they are printed, lasered or needled.
Optimal Performance in Any Range
Pepperl+Fuchs’ optical identification systems offer the ideal solution for distances of up to 2 meters. Not only do they read very small codes with module sizes as small as 0.1 mm, they also cover particularly large detection ranges. This means they offer the right distances and detection ranges for maximum reading performance at all times.
The Right Solution for Every Application
Whether difficult environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, dust or dirt, or applications that require particularly high scan rates—the optical identification systems reliably solve every identification task and can be optimally adapted to specific application requirements.
Fast and Easy Integration
Due to various interfaces such as Ethernet-based fieldbuses, Ethernet TCP/IP, USB, serial interfaces, I/Os or even radio interfaces such as Bluetooth®, the optical identification systems can be seamlessly integrated into all system environments. The powerful devices convince not only with fast integration, but also with simple commissioning.
Stationary 2-D Code Readers
VOS Ident: Universally Applicable
The VOS Ident is considered a true universal genius of optical identification—thanks to its powerful features and numerous customization options, the universal code reader masters any application requirement. The devices read all common 1-D or 2-D codes at ranges of up to 2 m (from 1 m with external light source), including lasered/needled codes (DPM).
OPC: High-Speed Code Readers for Print and Paper Industry
The stationary 2-D code readers of the OPC series read all common 1-D and 2-D codes reliably and efficiently at close range of up to 180 mm—even on reflective surfaces. With up to 10 m/s at 100 reading/s, they are convincing both at standstill and high-speed. Due to the polarization filter technology, they consistently deliver accurate results under the most difficult conditions such as highly reflective surfaces.
Automatic Identification of Moving Vehicles in Automotive Manufacturing
In automotive manufacturing, a conveyor system transports body components to the final assembly area, where the vehicles are constructed according to the requirements of the respective end customer. To do this, the car body must be uniquely identified using a QR or DataMatrix code as it passes the code reading station. The VOS2000-I vision sensor offers the ideal solution for this. Read the application report to find out how objects in motion can be reliably detected thanks to extremely fast shutter speeds.
Powerful and Highly Adaptable
The VOS Ident series impresses with enormous flexibility in use due to a variety of sensor variants and numerous possible combinations of external components. For standard applications, the VOS2000-I is the ideal solution. In addition to a very high resolution of 1.2 megapixels, the sensor features integrated white lighting and multiple lenses for the detection of large and small fields of view. For even more flexibility, Pepperl+Fuchs offers the VOS2000-I and VOS5000-I code readers as C-mount variants. Here, in addition to the lens, you can select the appropriate external lighting depending on the application requirements.
Flexible Output String Formatting through Powerful Script Functionality
With the powerful script, the output string can be adapted for integration into the ERP system without time-consuming adjustments. With I/O, Ethernet TPC/IP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and RS-232, all relevant interfaces for data communication are available.
Multipage Reading and Large Sensing Ranges
The VOS Ident masters even demanding applications with particularly large detection ranges and multipage reading. Several devices can be easily interconnected to implement multipage reading. The high resolution and the multisensor combination enable reliable code reading in a large detection range.
Stationary Barcode Scanners
2-D Code Handheld ReadersHandheld Readers of the OHV Series
Highly reliable reading performance, easy handling and perfect adaptation to customer-specific requirements—this is what the handheld readers of the OHV series stand for. The devices reliably read all 1-D and 2-D codes, including DPM codes, even on reflective surfaces. They are available with cables or wireless. Additionally, the devices provide user feedback in the form of acoustic, tactile and visual signals, ensuring maximum process reliability for your application. Pepperl+Fuchs offers a suitable handheld reader for every application requirement in the field of mobile identification—whether standard or demanding tasks.
Special SolutionsOIT High-Temperature Identification System
The OIT high-temperature identification system ensures smooth process operation under the most demanding conditions, such as cyclical temperature changes, extremely high temperatures of up to 500° C or exposure to dust or paint. This makes the system ideal for use in painting lines, drying plants, electroplating plants or bakeries. The integrated diagnostic function ensures safe process sequences. Learn in the application report how the OIT reliably identifies freshly painted car bodies despite extreme ambient temperatures.
