Microscan announces the availability of the world’s fastest mini imager. Microscan’s Quadrus MINI Velocity autofocus imager consistently reads linear and 2D codes moving as fast as 100 inches per second. Now companies with high speed production lines can easily implement automatic data tracking for monitoring of production parts or processes.

Today’s manufacturers are looking to increase production output using methods such as faster assembly line speeds and implementing production traceability. For these companies, a high speed mini imager with autofocus is critical for monitoring production data. In addition to reading at very high speeds, the Velocity reads linear and 2D codes on a variety of items, such as printed circuit boards, envelopes, packaging, automotive parts, and more. Unique autofocus technology enables continuous read performance across varying line speeds, code distances, or code types. The Velocity also includes Microscan’s Easy Setup Program (ESP) software, which simplifies data collection through programmable features such as multi-symbol reading, match code, trend analysis, symbol quality reporting, and multiple I/O programming.

“The new Velocity is a valuable addition to our popular Quadrus MINI imager series,” commented Andrew Zosel, Director of Product Management. “It breaks all our previous records of high speed decoding for mini imagers. We’ve also included enhanced Q-Mode algorithms for aggressive decoding of 1D, QR, Micro QR, and a wide range of postal codes. With full autofocus and easy configuration, Velocity end users will get a superior out-of-box experience.”
