Datasheet: Vision System-1

Designed for Inkjet Printing Most vision systems on the market today are limited in their ability to read dot matrix printing found on primary packaging. Hitachi has developed a vision system specifically able to isolate each character in the dot matrix inkjet printing. This provides some key benefits to manufacturing companies: ■ Specifically developed to accurately read inkjet codes regardless of the printer brand being used ■ Isolation of each character to detect code degradation ■ Threshold grading system individually set for your application By designing a vision system specifically for inkjet printers, any code that is readable by the human eye can also be passed by the vision system, getting more production out the door. This is part of the Hitachi Communication Solutions, which help leverage technology on your production lines to improve your efficiency. Vision System Coding & Marking Soluti
