Cold store scanning

06 October 2014

The VB14N-T compact cold store scanner from Pepperl+Fuchs operates at temperatures from -35 to +45°C, delivering full performance over the entire operating temperature range.

With a scan rate of up to 1000 scans/s and resolutions of 0.2mm, the device offers the same performance as the VB14N for standard temperatures. The low-temperature version has integrated heater, which is monitored by microprocessor-controlled temperature control. Depending on the internal and external temperatures of the barcode scanner and environment, the device constantly determines the optimal heating power.

Other features include master-slave operation in which up to 32 scanners work together in a network, configuration via the convenient PC software Genius, and the innovative direct-operation concept with mode button. With the help of intelligent code reconstruction, the model can even decode poor-quality code readings such as those with low contrast, damage, or in-motion blurring.

With identical dimensions, the standard scanner can easily be replaced by the new cold store version if required. Cabling effort is also low, as the device and heating are supplied via the same cable. The possibility of using the VB14N-T in the positive range in normal temperatures makes the device—which is accommodated in a robust housing to IP 65 degree of protection—a universally usable all-rounder with a wide field of application.
