Manufacturing Data Capture Station

Overview

Pryor's Data Capture Station is ideal for scanning a part before and after a manufacturing process to record process steps and implement process gates. The base frame secures component fixtures to enable consistent image capture and the complete station can be mounted onto table top or even onto a wall. Multiple stations can be used together with Pryor software to capture complete manufacturing process data. Data from the station can be transferred to any program when used with the Pryor ScanToScreen software.

It consists of a ReadSmart 2.0 camera and a controlled lighting environment to ensure that marks can be read with even the most challenging field ambient lighting. This makes the Data Capture Station successful in most production environments.

The camera also features various controllable external light options and variable focal length. Combined wih the controlled lighting environment, this allows the user to achieve the best possible lighting for reading both 1D and 2D barcodes on components of variable sizes, resulting in excellent read rates.

The camera also boasts an in-build auto-tune feature that creates the best possible settings for lighting and auto focus per application, without the requirement of operator experience. 

This exceptional lighting and focus technology allows the Data Capture Station to read damaged 1D barcodes as small as 0.8 pixels per module.
