Microscan has released the Vision Mini Xi industrial compact smart camera with embedded Ethernet.
The fully-integrated smart camera measures 25.4 x 45.7 x 53.3mm and weighs 91g. The Vision Mini Xi features both Ethernet and serial connectivity, a 24-volt interface, and optically isolated I/O in one compact package.
It is designed for engineers looking for robust inspection, colour matching, symbol decoding, or OCR and can fit into tight spaces in assembly line manufacturing and component tracking applications. The camera can handle dot peen marks on power-train components, laser markings on medical devices or PCBs, as well as traditional printed barcodes on packaging and labels.
Together with the Autovision software, the Vision Mini Xi is the ideal solution for manufacturers that need to read barcodes, but require the flexibility to add additional inspection capabilities to their processes using a single hardware device.
