Microscan To Present The New Vision HAWK Machine Vision System To The Packaging Industry At Pack Expo 2011

Aug 25 2011

Microscan, a global technology leader in barcode, machine vision and lighting solutions, will present the new Vision HAWK machine vision system to the packaging industry at Pack Expo 2011, which takes place September 26-28, 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. The fully-integrated smart camera, built for high performance in rugged production environments, will be demonstrated at the company’s booth, #6144.

With a complete vision toolset that includes powerful decode tools for reading barcodes and text codes (OCR), the Vision HAWK enables manufacturers to meet their traceability requirements and automate inspection tasks such as cap alignment, label positioning, fill level verification, and more.

Microscan’s Vision HAWK reads text and barcodes, and performs inspections such as cap alignment and fill level verification.

The Vision HAWK features easy set-up and operation with Microscan’s intuitive AutoVISION software interface, and can be scaled to the more advanced Visionscape interface for complex configurations. Liquid lens autofocus technology reduces downtime by eliminating the need to manually adjust the camera during line changeovers. With fully integrated lens and lighting, industrial IP65/67 housing, and Ethernet connectivity, the Vision HAWK is easily integrated into production operations.

The Vision HAWK is a flexible industrial smart camera that delivers powerful vision capabilities in a compact, easy-to-use package. Developed for vision users of all experience levels in a broad range of applications, the Vision HAWK features an intuitive vision interface, integrated lighting, high resolution optical zoom, and simple plug and play connectivity.
With the Vision HAWK, both integrators and end-users have a scalable, fully integrated vision solution to confidently solve any inspection, verification, or auto ID application.

Powerful Capabilities: Features a robust tool set to address a wide range of automation challenges using vision technology. Combined with patented liquid lens autofocus, the Vision HAWK can easily cover almost any vision or barcode application. AutoVISION software allows easy expansion to more complex vision applications through migration to full Visionscape software.
Advanced Optical System: High resolution modular optical zoom system enables the Vision HAWK to inspect objects and labels at distances from 33 mm to 2 m and beyond.
Rugged Design: Features a rugged industrial design with a cast alloy IP65/67 enclosure and M12 connectors. Integrated Ethernet protocols are included for high speed communication.
