MS-3 Compact Laser Barcode Scanner

Overview

• Decodes/second: up to 1000
• Read Range: 2 to 10” (51 to 254 mm)
• Wide Scan Angle
• IP54 Enclosure

The MS-3 laser barcode scanner offers the fastest read performance in embedded compact barcode scanners. The wide scan angle of 70 degrees is coupled with ultra-compact size and flexible mounting.

High performance and flexibility make the MS-3 the optimal choice for reliable reading in embedded instruments.

Compact & Lightweight: The 1.75” (44.5 mm) square by .85” (21.6 mm) tall scanner weighs only 2 ounces (57 g) for easy mounting onto robotic equipment or into tight spaces.

High Scan Speed: Adjustable scan speed from 300 up to 1000 decodes per second and Microscan’s world-class decode algorithms ensure accurate reading every time.

Wide Scan Angle: The wide scan angle of over 70 degrees and a factory customizable focal point add up to space savings within your system, allowing greater flexibility with positioning.

Visible Indicators: Illuminated LEDs on top of the scanner provide visual confirmation of the scanner performance.

Real-time Controls: The inputs include a trigger signal, a “new master” input, and a programmable input for resetting counters or releasing outputs. The outputs can be configured to activate upon a variety of conditions including matchcode and diagnostic operations.
