Baumer has expanded its Smart Vision portfolio with the introduction of the high-performance IDC230 multicode reader—a compact device that maintains the same ease of use and commissioning as the recently launched IDC200 model. Designed for industrial applications, this sensor expert solution excels in tasks across packaging, electronics, food industries, assembly quality control, and intralogistics track-and-trace operations.

Eased Integration and Commissioning

The IDC230 offers simplified setup through its web interface—eliminating the need for specialized software. Unlike conventional code readers that often require IT department support, the IDC230 enables quick deployment via a USB-C connection to any computer. The device’s smart installation accessories combined with an intuitive user menu ensure hassle-free commissioning.

With Auto-setup functionality, reading multiple different codes requires just one click. The space-saving design includes Ethernet and USB-C interfaces alongside Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and DIO protocols for seamless integration into existing systems. Users can customize data telegrams to match specific system requirements or data formats.

High-Performance Code Reading

Built on the same innovative technology platform as the IDC200 model, IDC230 processes multiple lines of text and both 1D and 2D codes in parallel at high speed. Capable of handling up to 40 frames per second, even for different code types simultaneously, it is ideal for demanding industrial automation tasks like label inspection.

The integrated bright lighting eliminates the need for external illumination sources, making it suitable for challenging applications while reducing costs associated with additional setups. Reflective surfaces, changing light conditions, or low-resolution targets pose no issue due to its robust design and advanced processing capabilities.

Applications Across Industries

The IDC230 is versatile enough to handle multifaceted tasks in various sectors including packaging, electronics, food industries, assembly quality control, and intralogistics track-and-trace operations. Its compact size makes it suitable for space-constrained environments while delivering professional-grade performance.

Availability: The IDC230 will be available starting June 2024.
