Microscan ID20 Value Barcode Reader
The Omron Microscan 7212-1190-0000 Value Barcode Reader, also known as the MicroHAWK ID-20, is a compact and high-performance barcode reader designed for a wide range of applications, including embedded systems, work-in-progress (WIP) traceability, and general barcode reading. It offers a good balance between size, performance, and affordability, making it a popular choice for space-constrained environments.
Key Features:
- Compact Design: Measuring only 34mm x 24mm x 39mm, it’s one of the smallest full-featured barcode imagers available, making it ideal for robots, drones, and embedded systems.
- High-Resolution Imaging: Equipped with a 1.2MP SXGA CMOS sensor (1280 x 960 pixels), it captures detailed images for accurate reading of even small, complex, or damaged barcodes.
- Versatile Decoding: Reads a wide range of 1D barcode symbologies, including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and more. (Please note that this model does not support 2D barcode reading.)
- Moderate Read Range: Reads barcodes from a distance of up to 190mm, suitable for scanning items close to the reader or in tight spaces.
- Fast Processing: Decodes barcodes at up to 42 frames per second, ensuring efficient data capture.
- Single-Cable Solution: Uses a Micro-B USB port for both power and communication (USB 2.0), simplifying integration and reducing cable clutter.
- Durable Construction: IP40-rated for protection against dust and water, allowing use in industrial settings.
- Plug-and-Play Functionality: Easy to set up and use without complex configuration.
Additional Notes:
- This model is a good choice for applications where compactness, affordability, and reliable 1D barcode reading are essential.
- It’s often used in retail, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare settings where space efficiency is important.
- While not the most rugged option, its IP40 rating allows for use in moderately dusty or moist environments.
- Compared to other models in the 7212-1190 series, it offers a standard density lens, resulting in a shorter read range than models with liquid lens technology.
- It primarily reads 1D barcodes, so if you need 2D barcode reading capability, consider other models in the series.
Overall, the Omron Microscan 7212-1190-0000 Value Barcode Reader is a versatile and user-friendly option for space-constrained environments and general 1D barcode reading tasks, offering a good balance between size, performance, and affordability.
