Sick CLV6xx barcode scanner platform

The CLV6xx barcode scanner platform from Sick offers customised solutions all the way to the high-end segment. Besides maximum reading results, other features include the intuitive parameterisation and user interface, as well as the manifold possibilities for network and fieldbus integration.

The laser scanners comprising the series offer scan frequencies up to 1,200 Hz for conveying speeds of up to 6 m/s, permitting a customised solution for different identification problems. Various CLV6xx devices are also available as a variant with oscillating mirrors. Because of the processor technology used, the devices also feature substantial performance reserves that allow reliably high reading rates even with a view to growing future demands.

The CLV650 is the high-end device in the series. For instance, in the reading field from 200 - 1600 mm, the scanner features real-time autofocus with integrated distance measurement function, which gives reading reliability even for high plant throughput and the most diverse object sizes. On the device, this is visualised by a bar-graph display, which eliminates the need for checking reading performance by means of a PC. From the CLV620 fixed-focus basic version upward, ethernet on board and integrated web server functionality for scanner diagnosis are included in the scope of features and services as is the reliable two-stage fieldbus concept with a separate connection box and the parameter cloning option for minimised device replacement times - either using a cloning module or, from the CLV630 up, micro SD card. Additional features are the SMART decoding algorithms that have been further developed.
