SICK Lector620 series 1D and 2D code readers

Sick’s Lector620 series of 1D and 2D code readers provide reliable reading performance, rapid integration in a variety of packaging machine IT environments and extensive analysis and diagnostic possibilities.

The Lector620 eco offers basic functions for reading and assessing codes. The Standard version meets the reading and automation requirements of the most varied of applications in packaging machines.

The readers record codes at a frequency of 60 Hz and use all images for evaluation. For continuous packaging processes, the readers can also autonomously adjust reading parameters such as brightness or contrast settings. The device automatically adapts to varying code qualities so that there are no non-identifiable packaging units.

Laser points in the centre of the image support alignment of the code readers on the area of the packaging in which the codes are located. A variety of modes, from Standard to Expert, then offer an appropriate amount of configuration possibilities. Parameterisation by means of software is possible and is supported by the live picture displayed in the user interface and by dialogue-guided enquiries.

AutoSetup - the automatic teach-in process - can be started by pressing a single button. LEDs on the device provide information on the focal distance and reading quality of the taught-in codes.

Housing slots and slot nuts with variable hole distances on the compact and robust metal housings, as well as the rotating M12 plug unit, ensure flexible, reliable and rapid mounting in the packaging equipment.

Up to 100,000 pictures on the code reader’s microSD card and stored evaluations of code quality allow users to understand and solve problems on packaging equipment.
