EVS138 Master/Slave configuration

If you have need to cover a large area to find the location of your code, or if your goods vary in size to a significant degree we suggest that you use 2 EVS138 in a Master/Slave configuration.

With EVS138 cameras in Master/Slave configuration you can search and scan the code over a large area and when any of the cameras find the code, the data will be sent through the common RS232 interface.

The Master/Slave connected cameras can also be used for read verification which results in a “good read” or “no read” signal on the digital I/O.

EVS138 is able to read codes at a distance up to 13 meters, depending on the code size and density.

Launching Antenna Tuning Control for 134.2 systems

Normally your 134,2 kHz LF-antenna would be tuned at the factory, but after installation at the new facility fine tuning might need to be done to optimise the performance. Normally this fine tuning is done by adjusting the capacitor values on the Antenna tuning board and to facilitate this we are now introducing our Antenna Tuning Control (ATC134).

By connecting the ATC134 to a simple volt meter or oscilloscope you can easily find the resonance frequency and optimum capacitor values for your specific installation.If your system is not tunable, we recommend the use of our own Antenna Tuning Unit, with or without Tuning Indicator.

Now Launching ZIOX Host Controller

Many of the requests we get from customers is about upgrading and exchanging older PREMID systems, either to improve performance or to replace systems failing by age.

The main work in these projects are often to facilitate communication between main systems set up for communication with older devices protocol, in our case often the Baumer Ident ZIOX16 system.

IdentSystem ABs new ZIOX Host Controller (ZIOX-HC) was developed just to simplify these projects – by both acting as a polling device for the new system and also converting the host protocol and message to Ziox16, which means that customers can connect the new IDEAL134,2 system more or less directly in existing environment.

Ident System products now in our Nordic webshop

Ident Systems Swedish website where we offer DOBOT robotic arms for our Nordic customers have now been expanded to contain a selection of our Barcode and RFID readers as well as RFID antennas.

ideal125 rfid reader and ideal125a rfid antenna

The webshop was expanded as an easy way for our customers to order for direct delivery smaller volumes for testing and experimental purposes.
The customer that want to see our larger product assortment can visit www.identsystem.com, our international website in three languages and contact us from there for more information or orders.

Ident System AB – New version of EVS138 for SME

Ident System AB will during the fourth quarter launch a new version of EVS138 barcode scanner aimed at Small and Medium-sized Enterprises for either fixed or mobile mounting such as forklift for pallet handling.  The scanner is operated by means of a joystick, which in turn, works a read head mounted on a movable unit. The handler then controls the camera that reads the codes accordingly.

The new EVS138 will read all common barcodes and 2D codes. It is based on latest matrix technology and can withstand the tough industrial environments of forklift truck applications, including the shock and vibration stresses. The EVS138 read-head has autofocus capabilities allowing it to read codes between 0,2 m up to 13 m. The technology used in the EVS138 provides extremely good reading capabilities. It has built-in error correction.

Features:

  • Long reading distance (0,2 m up to 13 m depending on code density)
  • Large depth of sharpness range
  • Reads Bar code and 2D codes
  • Built-in laser pointer for aiming
  • Omni-directional reading
  • No external lamp needed

The new EVS138 is currently in final development but read more about the EVS138 series on our product page.

Upgrade to LF-RFID for better performance in paper industry

Tambour identification has in the past mostly been done using Microwave-based systems. That hardware is now getting to a point where it needs to be replaced in order to warrant a safe and trouble-free operation in the mills. Since a few years Ident System AB offers an economic and well-proven replacement system based on LF-RFID instead of the microwave systems.

The system consists of a reader connected to the present Mill Executive System and will keep track of Tambour-ID, orientation and acceptable destinations. The Tambour-ID system easily integrates with various MES e.g. Honeywell Optivision, ABB Automation, Paperline and similar systems.
Ident System AB has in the past years successfully installed well over 30 systems and more are on the way. The customers have greatly appreciated the quick and easy installation and the good performance of the systems.

Ident System AB has put together a short system description of our Tambour-ID solution that can be downloaded from our website here: Link to Tambour-ID pdf.

Ident System AB EVS144 Imager for fork lift mounting

Ident System AB EVS144 Imager is a code scanner developed especially for forklift mounting. The scanner is operated by the forklift driver by means of a joystick, which in turn, works a read head mounted on a movable unit. The driver then controls the camera that reads the codes accordingly. The System is easy to install because of its small dimensions.

EVS144 imager reads barcodes and 2-dimensional codes (2D) it has a reading distance between 0,2 m up to more than 13 m.

Imager series is based on the latest matrix technology and is designed to handle a tough industrial environment. Readers are equipped with auto-focus system and have built-in error correction.
