The new PresencePLUS P4 BCR vision sensor from Turck Banner reads advanced 2D and 1D bar codes including Data Matrix ECC200 and PDF 417, as well as linear codes such as Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN-8 and EAN-13. The unit includes a lens and associated lighting - all for under £2,000.Several features of the P4 BCR make it particularly easy to install and use. These include remote teach, allowing settings to be established without stopping production, and a live video output that allows users to view the sensor's inspections in real time and to view failed inspection images without a PC. A built-in 10/100 Ethernet connection or RS-232 serial I/O facilitate connection to the host system via an industrial network.The unit is available with two lens positions: in-line (on the end of the housing) and right-angle (on the side of the housing). Both versions measure only 66.8mm wide. The in-line model is 136.1 mm long and the right-angle model is just 124.5 mm long. Banner also offers hundreds of specialised lighting and lens options to solve even the most challenging applications. Email: imanning@turckbanner.co.uk
