CAM220 - DMC reading system

back

The CAM220 reading system has been specially designed to read data matrix codes on aluminum wheels. The design of the optical components enables universal use of the devices with the full range of wheel sizes in the 14–24" range.

The camera system is controlled by an industrial PC. By using a standard Ethernet connection, the reading unit can be easily installed up to 50 m away from the control unit. The industrial PC also acts as a buffer memory for the read wheels; at the same time, all data can be automatically entered into an SQL database provided by the customer. With the CAM220, the production data is therefore also simultaneously available in the factory IT – without additional equipment such as PLC connections.

All components installed in the field are installed in a premium-quality aluminum housing with IP67 protection. With the supporting feet available as accessories, no additional equipment is required for installation under a roller conveyor.

Depending on the application, the reading unit can be equipped with one or two cameras. The covered reading range is 200 mm with one camera and 350 mm with two cameras (reading range transverse to the transport direction on the roller conveyor).

All technical control parts such as industrial PC, power supply units, monitor, etc., are installed in a terminal box. This box is also the only transfer point to the customer for power supply and data connection.

Your advantages:

High reliability: immediate control of the coding directly after marking to ensure automatic readability
Reading on the fly: the code can be read in motion up to a roller conveyor speed of 30 m/min
Modular design: the reading unit can be equipped with one or two cameras
High process safety: database connection and automatic intermediate buffering in the event of a network failure
