Microscan announces MINI 3 bar code imager
RENTON, Wash., July 1, 2007 ¯ Microscan Systems announces the latest development in mini imagers. With 3 megapixel imaging, the Quadrus MINI 3 extends the leading edge of bar code imaging technology by providing the highest resolution available today for data tracking. The Quadrus MINI 3 is the world’s only mini imager able to decode tiny, high density codes of less than 3 mil. Active demonstrations can be seen at Assembly Tech Expo 2007 in Microscan’s Booth # 6542.

Manufacturers in industries such as printed circuit board assembly and semiconductor manufacturing must use ever smaller parts and components to stay competitive , yet they still require a component tracking system. Marking, then decoding identification on miniature components has been a challenge for many of today’s manufacturers. “The new Quadrus MINI 3 is the next step in our mini imager technology,” commented Microscan president Dennis Kaill. “We’ve more than doubled the image processing capabilities to provide the resolution and field of view to read the smallest codes in the most demanding applications.” As with all Microscan mini imagers, users can also experience user-friendly and time-saving features such as dynamic autofocus and single-point easy setup software.

In addition to reading tiny codes, the Quadrus MINI 3 has an extremely wide field of view and can read up to 100 different codes in a single capture, includ-ing both long linear codes and small 2D codes. The visible Symbol Locator pattern, EZ button setup, and dynamic, real time autofocus provide exceptional ease of use. The Quadrus MINI 3 is the most powerful mini imager available for virtually all bar code applications.

Microscan is a global leader in the development of advanced bar code products de-signed for a broad range of applications requiring greater precision. As an ISO 9001:2000 certified company with national recognition for Quality Leadership, Microscan is known and trusted by customers worldwide as a provider of quality, high precision automatic identification technology. Microscan is a Spectris company.
