Scanning magazines/trays with a hairline metal surface

Are you struggling to read 2D codes that have been directly marked (DPM) on metal magazines or trays with a hairline finish? Diffuse reflection of light from the fine grooves of the hairline finish and scratches from repeated use are major causes of reading errors with conventional code readers, posing significant challenges to stable production line operation and traceability management.

KEYENCE's SR-X Series AI-powered code reader delivers overwhelming reading performance even under these adverse conditions. It is equipped with advanced image processing algorithms and a variety of correction functions, including a polarizing filter to suppress glare. It accurately reduces reflections from hairline metal surfaces, enabling instant and stable reading of even DataMatrix codes that were previously difficult to read due to scratches or low contrast. This automates reading tasks that were previously done manually, significantly reduces the risk of line stoppages due to reading errors, and greatly contributes to improving factory productivity.
