Engineered for speed and accuracy, the MS-520 high speed scan head touts an impressive scan rate of 900 scans per second. It outputs a digitized signal ready for decoding, and connects to a Microscan MS-3000 decoder via an 8-pin modular connector and cable.
TheMicroscan MS-520 scan head is ideal for systems that require precise, high speed automated bar code data acquisition, including clinical, photofinishing, document handling, and electronics manufacturing applications.
High Speed Scanning: A spinning, 10-sided mirror delivers reliable, redundant scanning of fast moving labels. The MS-520’s laser beam is reflected through a 60° arc up to 900 times per second along a single line or 2° raster.
Easy Decoder Connection: Direct connection to the Microscan MS-3000 decoder, which provides real-time decoding and instantaneous data trans-mission to the host computer, is supplied via an 8-pin modular connector and cable.
Versatile Mounting: Built-in mounting holes allow for easy and quick positioning of the MS-520 scan head, whether using a mounting plate or a Microscan Universal Stand ™ (available in 4-inch, 6-inch, or 10-inch heights). The cube-shape, coupled with a wide scan angle and large depth of field further expands positioning options.
Brushless DC Motor: An exceptionally durable, brushless motor is used to maximize the life of the scan head. A solid performer, this maintenance-free motor precisely spins the scanning mirror at the user selected rate, which can reach 900 scans per second.
Wide-angle Photodetector: The double-window photodetector allows the MS-520 to capture more reflected light (from a wide, 60° scan angle), and thereby delivers greater scanning accuracy. Microscan’s proprietary light-pipe transmits light to a pair of photodiodes that convert light energy into an analog electrical wave that is digitized and transmitted to the decoder.
Symbologies: The MS-520 scans virtually all widely used bar code symbologies, including:
- Code 39
- Codabar
- Interleaved 2 of 5
- UPC/EAN
- Code 128
- Code 49
