MAC335 Universal Code Reader
The compact MAC335 universal code reader from Pepperl+Fuchs can read all common 1D and 2D code symbologies within an extremely large range without requiring mechanical modifications. A host of powerful features such as JavaScript functions, a high resolution, IP65 protection and the intuitive Vision Configurator operating software make this reader ideal for many industrial applications.With the MAC335 Pepperl+Fuchs is launching an innovative stationary universal code reader that is able to read all common 1D and 2D codes (25 different code symbologies). This is an economical compact reader with small mounting dimensions and is designed for stationary reading. The MAC335 can read codes within an extremely large range from 20mm to 300mm. This means codes can be read reliably without having to
mechanically adjust the lenses or use different lenses or other code reader versions. Its high resolution of
1.3 megapixels enables it to read both very small and large codes without having to change settings. The
JavaScript functionality, which is unique in this sector of the market, enables the reader to be linked into all
common programs and permits evaluations to be carried out on the reader itself. It is also possible to
perform assignments directly on the reader, for example that this engine belongs to the vehicle group
manufactured on this conveyor, and similar tasks. This feature often means that there is no need for a PC to
be installed downstream for evaluation purposes.
To get around the problem of familiarization with operating different code readers, Pepperl+Fuchs has
developed a standard operator interface, the Vision-Configurator. Using this, all parameters can be set
intuitively and, among other features, images from the reader can be displayed. This code reader can
additionally be parameterized easily without the use of operating software via the use of Data Matrix control
codes.
With its robust enclosure and IP65 degree of protection, the MAC335 is also highly suitable for heavy
industrial use.
