Sensor and industrial camera expert Baumer has expanded its extensive product lineup with the introduction of the IDC200, a compact multicode reader. Built on an innovative technology platform, this device represents the latest addition to Baumer’s Smart Vision portfolio. It delivers high usability alongside ease of installation and commissioning. The IDC200 can process up to 40 frames per second, even for different code types. Its integrated bright illumination eliminates the need for external lighting solutions, saving costs and effort.

Compact Multicode Reader

True to Baumer’s design philosophy, the IDC200 combines a compact form with high reliability. It excels at reading all conventional 1D/2D codes, even under challenging conditions. This makes it ideal for industrial automation applications. Reflective surfaces, varying light conditions, or minimal resolution limits are no challenge for this device. Additionally, the IDC200 can directly read marked and dot peened codes.

Easy Integration and Commissioning

Baumer prioritized fast integration and user-friendly commissioning in its design. Using a USB-C port, users can connect the multicode reader to any computer via a web interface. The Auto-Setup feature simplifies multi-code reading with just one click. Its compact housing includes Ethernet and USB-C interfaces, along with support for TCP/IP, Profinet, and DIO protocols—ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. Configurable data telegrams further facilitate this process.

Product Manager Klaus Hartinger commented on the new product: “The IDC200 makes Baumer’s code identification expertise accessible through an outstanding multicode reader experience. This adds another highlight to our compact, high-performance vision sensor portfolio.”

Fields of Application

From intralogistics and electronics manufacturing to shop-floor processes, the IDC200 excels in various scenarios. In electronics production, it reliably reads tiny codes on PCBs—down to 0.03 mm (1D) or 0.07 mm (2D). Its compact size makes it suitable for confined spaces like AGVs in intralogistics.

The IDC200 is the first product based on Baumer’s modern Smart Vision platform, which will serve as the foundation for future vision sensor innovations.
