MS-Q Quadrus with Light Ray Optics - Microscan Europe - #1

The MS-Q Quadrus™ imagers are optimized to read bar codes and 2D symbols that use direct part mark (DPM) methods. It is the most aggressive hand held imager available for decoding symbols on low contrast substrates such as metal, plastic, rubber, and glass with marking methods such as dot peen and laser/chemical etch.

Containing custom optics and Microscan's Quadrus decode algorithms, the MS-Q combines the decoding power of Microscan's popular smart camera Quadrus EZ™ into a portable hand held device.

QUADRUS™ IMAGER FDR DIRECT MARK READING

MS-Q QUADRUS™ HAND HELD IMAGER

The MS-Q Quadrus™ hand held imager is available in two optical options:

• The high resolution version is custom designed to optimize resolution for reading small 2D symbols in direct part mark applications.

• The standard resolution version is suitable for reading all printed bar code methods plus many applications with directly marked symbols.

All MS-Q imagers feature point-and-click targeting with a red laser spot to quickly center the symbol in the field of view. Beeper, vibrator, and multi-purpose LEDs provide real-time feedback to signal successful decoding.

The MS-Q Quadrus provides outstanding performance on challenging directly marked 2D codes.

Automotive and Aerospace: reads codes directly marked on steel, iron, aluminum, rubber, and glass parts by laser etch, dot peen, metal stamp, and other methods. Electronics: reads codes laser etched on printed circuit boards and components. Department of Defense: reads UID codes on a variety of substrates. Software enables MS-Q to verify UID code format for suppliers and constructs the UID string for DoD operators.

All MS-Q imagers are available in 3 configuration options:

• Batch: A wireless way to collect thou­sands of decoded symbols for later download, capable of performing more than 4000 reads from a single battery charge and buffer a minimum of 1 MB of data in non-volatile memory.*

• Cabled: Cabled units include USB, RS-232, and PS2.

• Bluetooth: Wireless data transmission using Bluetooth™ class 1 radio with a 328' (100 m) operating range.

*For batch and Bluetooth options a 1300 mA Lithium-Ion battery is included.

The MS-Q Quadrus™ imager reads all standard linear bar codes plus: 2D Symbologies: •Data Matrix (ecc &200) -QR Code •MaxiCode -Aztec Code

•UCC Composite -PDF417 (Macro support)

•Micro PDF417

LightRay Optics Accessory: Microscan's patented LightRay Optics solution further enhances the MS-Q's ability to read directly marked parts. By directing the illumination toward the symbol at off-axis angles, the LightRay Optics increase symbol contrast and filters out texture noise. The LightRay Optics are designed so that the MS-Q is positioned at the correct

focal distance and angle. No

training is needed to find the best angles for reading low contrast symbols. Either optical accessory easily attaches onto the end of the MS-Q. Two options are available: the LightRay 100 Series and the LightRay 200 Series.
