The QX Hawk imager from Microscan now offers expanded capabilities including the new X-mode 3.0 firmware upgrade, more accessory options, and a new CCD version.
As the first barcode imager to be designed with fully integrated liquid lens technology, the entire QX Hawk system is optimized for both superior image clarity and infinite focus capacity. The result is a robust barcode imager that combines superior barcode reading with autofocus to deliver unmatched flexibility to read 1D and 2D codes in any orientation, either up close or at great distances. For example, in a manufacturing facility QX Hawk can perform a wide range of identification applications, from small code unique item traceability to long range pallet tracking with barcode reading in any orientation.
The recent QX Hawk X-Mode 3.0 firmware upgrade provides improved algorithms for reading direct part marks (DPM), additionalsymbologies such as Aztec Code, Micro QR, Pharmacode, and postal codes, and adds XML for advanced programming. Ethernet/IP protocol support for all standard PLCs, plus seamless integration with AB’s latest version of Contrologix is included. A new CCD version of QX Hawk with 1.2 megapixel sensor will provide expanded read ranges for decoding tiny 2D and barcode marks, or reading within especially large areas. Two new accessories options also are available: scratch-resistant window kits and infrared filter for laser marking immunity. The CCD version of the QX Hawk will be available in August, while the firmware and hardware options are available now.
Standard ease of use features in all .QX Hawk imagers compact size for flexible positioning, visible LED indicators, targeting laser pattern, “good read” green flash, and an EZ button for instant setup and configuration. Setting up a QX Hawk is almost as easy as using a point-and-shoot digital camera. Simply mount the system and press the EZ button, and it will find any barcode or 2D code at any distance within its field of view.
