System Overview
The Bronway IDV-120 Code Reader has been designed to perform 100% IDENT code verification of discs in-line during the printing and packaging process. The reader can be fully integrated in to any machine in the Bronway range or installed as an OEM module on to most commercially available printing and packaging machines. Since most of the discs produced today are identified using barcode technology the reader is optimised for barcode verification, however, an OCR module is available to maintain compatibility with back catalogue.
Ease of operation is a key feature of the IDV-120 and the system will automatically detect the format of the barcode used to identify the disc. The correct code for the current job can either be read directly from a disc placed on the optical head, scanned from the paperwork accompanying each job using a hand-held barcode scanner or entered manually using a virtual keyboard. The reader maintains production statistics for the current job that can either be archived to a floppy disk or transferred to a server across a network. All key system parameters, including light intensity levels, are automatically optimised during the new order process to give the best possible performance levels at run-time.
The optical head supports and centres the disc at the start of the read cycle. It is upward facing and has an optional vacuum ring to eliminate disc vibration and tilt. The robust mechanical design and full use of solid-state components ensures reliable operation and long lifetime.
The IDV-120 is based on an embedded industrial PC platform. The graphical user interface is displayed on a compact flat panel display and accessed using a touch sensitive membrane. The amount of user intervention that is required is minimised through the use of automatic parameter optimisation functions at the start of a new order, which enables the user interface to be very simple and easy to use. Production statistics can either be uploaded using the in-built Ethernet adapter or archived using the IDV-120?s floppy disk drive.
