SIGNUM Codes is a system for the inspection of codes that is used, among other things, on packaging machines in the pharmaceutical industry, but also in the food and cosmetic industries. The intelligent cameras evaluate prints of 1D and 2D codes with exceptionally high reading performance. The optionally available control unit includes a PLC to enable retrofitting to an existing system. The comprehensive software features enable producers and packagers to optimally evaluate even difficult optical conditions. In addition, scanware offers analysis tools that enable error analysis and thus the reduction of reject. ■Inspection Criteria and Objects Testable objects: Labels Package inserts Folding boxes Blister cover foils Tubes etc. 1D-Codes: EAN 8, EAN 13 Code 32, Code 39, Code 128 Interleaved 2/5 DatenBar Pharmacode 2D-Codes: DataMatrix ■Advantages of the 2D Code Readers Available in various designs for simple and optimal system integration. The simple, user-oriented operation and the guided learning run make the system particularly user-friendly. Since only relevant areas are read, very high reading speeds of 150 barcodes and 80 DataMatrix codes per second are possible. Error analysis enables improvements to be made to the codes, and all common codes are already incorporated. The evaluation is independent of the rotational position and transport direction of the test item and can work reliably even at high transport speeds of up to 6 m/s. ■Software Facts of 2D Code Inspection The software offers the operator the possibility to implement the evaluation and improve productivity even without prior knowledge of coding.
