Reading 2D codes on multiple workpieces arranged on a tray, such as FPCs (Flexible Printed Circuits) and small electronic components, is a major challenge for improving productivity. The conventional method of reading one by one lengthens takt time, and reading errors can lead to line stoppages.
The KEYENCE AI-powered code reader, SR-X Series, is the optimal solution to these challenges. Equipped with a wide field of view and a high-resolution CMOS sensor, it achieves 'bulk reading' by capturing multiple codes on a tray at once. It can perform instant and stable reading even if the workpieces are slightly misaligned.
The newly developed algorithm in the SR-X Series demonstrates overwhelming reading performance even for challenging codes such as microscopic codes on FPCs and low-contrast DPM (direct part marking). This minimizes misreads to the utmost limit and allows for the construction of a highly reliable traceability system. Setup is also easy, contributing to labor reduction and improved quality control levels immediately after installation. It strongly promotes efficiency and smart factory implementation in manufacturing sites.
