Microscan V430-F000W03M-SWX Industrial Ethernet Barcode Reader
The Omron Microscan V430-F000W03M-SWX is a compact and cost-effective fixed-mount barcode reader designed for reading standard 1D and 2D barcodes at a fixed distance of 50mm in controlled, well-lit industrial environments. It offers a slight upgrade over basic models in its category, providing improved performance in moderately low-light conditions at a competitive price.
Key Features:
- 3MP monochrome CMOS sensor with X-Mode decoder: Captures details for most standard barcodes, even on challenging surfaces like plastic or metal.
- Wide field of view: Also easily handles larger barcodes or multiple codes within the 50mm focal range.
- Fast decoding speed (up to 30 fps): This also ensures efficient capture, even at moderate conveyor speeds.
- White LED ring light + High-power blue LED illuminator: Provides consistent illumination for diverse barcode types and surfaces.
- Rugged design: IP65/IP67 dustproof and waterproof construction withstands harsh environments.
- Flexible communication options: Also connects via Ethernet TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET.
- M12 connectors: Industry-standard connectors for robust and reliable power and communication.
Strengths:
- Budget-friendly: Offers better low-light performance than basic NNP models at a similar price point.
- Compact: Suitable for tight spaces with limited mounting options.
- Reliable: Dustproof, waterproof, and secure connections for harsh environments.
- Easy to set up and use: Simple configuration with WebLink interface.
Comparisons:
- Similar core features to V430-F000W03M-NNP and V430-F050W03M-NNP in terms of camera and white LED.
- Stands out for its blue LED illuminator, offering improved low-light and packaging penetration at a similar price point compared to NNP models.
- More affordable than models with higher resolution sensors, adjustable focus, or color camera.
Overall: The Omron Microscan V430-F000W03M-SWX is a budget-friendly choice for basic barcode reading in well-lit environments with the added benefit of improved performance in moderately low-light conditions. Its compact size, efficient performance, and blue LED illuminator make it ideal for simple applications where cost is a priority and a slight low-light boost is valuable. Also, consider models with higher resolution sensors, adjustable focus, or color cameras if your needs involve detailed barcodes, wider distance ranges, or complex colored codes.
