Highlights

Adjustable focus for flexible working distance within the reading field
PPIC_Detail1_DCR100i_700x500

The DCR 100i’s adjustable focus within the reading field allows it to adapt to different distances, code sizes and surfaces, ensuring sharp images, high reading rates and scalable performance in any application.

Four focus areas and typical reading distances:

  • HHD (hyper high density – very short operating range): 40-120 mm, at module width 0.08 – 0.18 mm
  • HD (high density – short operating range): 60-300 mm, at module width 0.08 – 0.33 mm
  • SR (standard range): 70-460 mm, at module width 0.127 – 0.33 mm
  • LR (long range): 70-550 mm, at module width 0.127 – 0.33 mm
Automatic setting for easy setup

The DCR 100i series provides Ethernet connectivity and supports industrial protocols – including Modbus and TCP/IP – as well as RS 232, ensuring seamless integration with any automation system.

Application

DCR100i_DPM_Code_reading_Grafik_700x500px

Precise reading of DPM codes on electronic components

Requirement:
In the electronics industry, reading small, sophisticated DPM codes on integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) is critical for traceability and quality control.

Solution:
The DCR 100i code reader features DPM decoding and a manually adjustable focus, enabling reliable capture of small codes.

Multiple code reads on packaging

Requirement:
Each secondary packaging box is labeled with both a 1D and a 2D code. For quality assurance purposes, both codes should be read together in a single scanning process before the box group is packaged.

Solution:
The DCR 100i code reader can read multiple bar codes and 2D codes on packaging simultaneously. Its imager is optimized for vertical mounting and provides a wide horizontal field of view as well as optimized reading rates.

Precise code reading on moving packaging

Requirement:
In the packaging industry, accurate reading of codes on moving boxes is essential. All code orientations and types must be accounted for to ensure reliable tracking and quality control.

Solution:
The DCR 100i is equipped with an imager that scans 120 frames per second (conveyor speed up to 2 m/s) and powerful integrated illumination.It captures barcodes on moving objects quickly and accurately, reducing reading errors and increasing throughput in demanding applications.
