Barcode Scanner Component for Container Identification Systems

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Barcode Scanner

Definition

The barcode scanner is a component used in machinery and equipment manufacturing, specifically within container identification systems. It captures barcode data from containers, enabling automated identification, inventory management, and logistics tracking throughout the supply chain. The device operates by illuminating the barcode with a light source, typically a laser or LED, and then using a photosensor to detect the reflected light pattern. This pattern is converted into electrical signals and decoded into digital data representing the encoded information. The scanner is typically constructed with ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and optical glass, offering durability and optical clarity. Key parameters include a scanning distance of 0–300 mm, a scanning speed of 100–1000 scans per second, and a resolution of 0.127–0.25 mm. The depth of field ranges from 0–300 mm, and the operating temperature is -20 to 50 °C, with storage temperature from -40 to 70 °C. Humidity tolerance is 5–95% RH (non-condensing). The ingress protection rating is IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529, indicating dust and water resistance. Supply voltage is 5–12 V DC, with power consumption of 1–2.5 W. Common interfaces include USB, RS-232, and PS/2. Handheld models weigh 100–200 g. These values are typical ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application. The scanner is not a standalone product but a component that requires integration into a larger system. For procurement, confirm model-specific specifications and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the optical window and checking cable connections. Read failures may occur outside the specified depth of field or temperature range, or if the barcode is damaged or obscured.

Working Principle

The barcode scanner uses a light source (laser or LED) to illuminate the barcode. A photosensor detects the reflected light pattern, which is then converted into electrical signals. These signals are decoded into digital data representing the encoded information. The scanner's optics and sensor work together to capture the barcode's contrast pattern, enabling accurate reading.
