Due to increasing demands and ever stricter regulations, being able to trace products is becoming more and more important. In this context, it is absolutely essential that products not only be marked properly but also that these marks be read reliably.
The use of 2D codes (e.g. the Data Matrix ECC 200 code), is therefore becoming ever more widespread. They are characterised by high information density, suitability to be marked directly on the product (DPM) and machine legibility.
With its new PD60/65 series, Panasonic offers high quality 2D code readers. They are especially well suited for the difficult-to-read codes marked on metal, which is standard in the automotive industry.
Whereas the PD60 is designed for stationary use (e.g. on assembly lines), the handy PD65 can be moved around.
Both models offer: a compact, all-in-one design; suitability for use with codes marked directly on metal; reliable and fast reading of Data Matrix ECC 200 and QR codes; adaptive LED lighting; filter functions to optimise image; quick and intuitive setup with the software PDTOOL; easy integration into existing systems; and robust IP67G housing.
