All barcode scanners
do the same thing:
- collect light
reflected from a barcode
- digitize the
analog signal
- process it
through software algorithms
- convert it to
meaningful data
When a scanner
performs effectively, its speed, size, processing
throughput, flexibility, and cost determines value
for the user.
ISI specializes
in Laser and CCD Camera technologies that optimize
the collection of reflected light into a signal that
is processed effectively. Our fixed-mount scanners
are engineered with two primary design principles in
mind:
- Develop and
utilize advanced technologies
- Provide the
best price/performance value
In-field changes
from flash memory and programmable firmware: Flash
memory means your ISI scanner does not have to be
returned to the factory for software upgrades,
changes in application or configuration. Simple
firmware menus lets you easily change your ISI
scanner’s gate parameters, symbologies,
communications, transmission buffers, laser tracking,
etc.
Variable control
of the motor speed: This allows for maximum data
collection, based on the quality of the barcode label
and the speed of your application. ISI products
feature long-life brushless motors with oversized
optical components to work at minimum loads.
Oversized optics
that maximize light collection: Oversized
gold-plated aluminum mirrors with extra-large facets,
diamond-machined to eliminate spot
distortion-maximize light collection and improve the
reflective gradient, raising the decoding performance
threshold.
Dynamic AGC
(automatic gain control): All ISI units feature
dynamic gain control circuits to optimize extended
depth of field.
NEMA 12 sealing
for protection against EMI and RFI: All ISI
scanners feature rugged extruded aluminum cases,
gasketed and sealed against extreme environments.
Your ISI scanner’s performance will not be
degraded by contaminates or signal interference.
Direct memory
access and highest data throughput: ISI scanners
process every scan and provide the highest rate of
data throughput, thanks to a firmware buffer that
stores up to 16k bytes of data, assuring that no
information is lost. No other high-speed scanner offers
true real-time decoding. Most others drop scans along
the way, missing potentially good data and
effectively lowering the actual scan speed.
All ISI Scanners
have numerous standard features that enhance their
price/performance advantages to users:
- NEMA 12 rating
for protection in harsh environments;
optional upgrade to NEMA 4
- 200-1000
scans per second, depending on application
and speed requirements.
- Two inputs
(standard trigger plus one for external match
code without accessing menus)
- Four outputs
(to check systems status or drive peripheral
equipment)
- Extended depth
of field from oversized coaxial optics for
both sending and receiving
- Direct-memory
access stores up to 16k of data, permitting
every scan to be processed.
