Panasonic PD50 Excellent decoding capabilities, Real-time image storage, Superior robustness

Excellent decoding capabilities

PD50 reads Data Matrix ECC200 and QR codes. The codes can be created by printing, laser marking, engraving, etching and stamping. Furthermore, even distorted, displaced or inversed codes can be read reliably.

Real-time image storage

Being equipped with a dedicated image memory, PD50 allows real-time image storage during inspection. Up to 8 images can be saved in a ring buffer. You can define whether to save each inspection image or only images with negative inspection results. These images can be transferred to PDTOOL, where they can be viewed or stored as Bitmap files, e.g. for quality control reports.

Superior robustness

Thanks to its pre-processing functions, PD50 can read stamped or engraved codes on metal surfaces. Possible distortions caused by material reflections, oil, oxidation or other impurities, for example, will be filtered out reliably, resulting in a clear and de-codable image.
