Microscan, a global leader in technology for
precision data acquisition and control solutions, announced that its C-mount
design QX Hawk barcode imager has won a 2012 Ringier Technology Innovation
Award in the Packaging Industry category. Microscan’s Weijiang Song accepted
the award during a ceremony in Shanghai. This event was co-organized by Ringier
Trade Media and its magazine International Packaging News for China, together
with ProPak China 2012. Following a strict selection process by an independent
judge panel, with reference to online voting results, 21 winning companies were
selected for their innovative products and technologies across 5 categories,
including Package Converting, Packaging Application, Packaging Materials,
Package Printing and Green Packaging. The overall aim of the award is to
commend the contributions of companies promoting the development of packaging
industry.
At the beginning of this year, Microscan
introduced a new C-mount lens configuration for two of its products: the
popular QX Hawk imager and the Vision HAWK smart camera. The QX Hawk imager is
ideal for industrial track and trace applications, with powerful algorithms for
reading virtually all linear and 2D barcodes. The rugged Vision HAWK smart
camera combines the same decode capability with a complete vision toolset to
enable a broad range of inspection and identification tasks. Both products can
now be used with interchangeable lenses to address more application needs, such
as high magnification and wide fields of view.
“This new right angle C-mount lens design is
an important addition to our Auto ID and Machine Vision product portfolio,”
states Microscan Product Champion, Machine Vision, Dr. Jonathan Ludlow. “We can
successfully address a wider variety of today’s industrial barcode and vision
applications. These are ideal cameras for applications requiring external
lighting, right angle mounting in tight spaces, or fields of view that the
integrated lens models don’t address.”
Microscan is a global leader in technology
for precision data acquisition and control solutions serving a wide range of
automation and OEM applications. With a strong history of technology innovation
that includes the invention of the first laser diode barcode scanner and the 2D
symbology, Data Matrix; Microscan remains a technology leader in automatic
identification and machine vision with extensive solutions for ID tracking,
traceability and inspection ranging from basic barcode reading up to complex
machine vision inspection, identification, and measurement.
