Accu-Sort MiniCam

The Accu-Sort AccuVision® MiniCam™ is a CMOS camera that offers the accuracy of a camera at the price of a laser scanner. With a read rate of 99 percent (compared to 90 to 96 percent for lasers), quick set-up and low maintenance, MiniCam provides the lowest total cost of ownership of any bar code scanning option. Cameras can also consistently read damaged, poorly printed or small aspect ratio codes that cannot be decoded by laser scanners.

MiniCam is Accu-Sort’s smallest 2D reader with a footprint that easily fits on a production line; yet it is powerful enough to handle sorting or other material handling applications. The MiniCam provides a wide field of view, integrated LED illumination and flexible connectivity to host systems. When paired with the AccuVision Decoder for Mid-Range Cameras, MiniCam provides real-time decoding of all industry standard one-dimensional bar codes and two-dimensional symbologies. Plug-and-play functionality allows for fast and easy installation and setup. Replacement takes less than five minutes.

With the largest sensor size in its class, MiniCam provides coverage to accommodate a variety of package shapes and sizes on the production line without having to relocate the camera. Multiple heads per decoder allow for greater cost savings and flexibility, along with easy multi-sided reading of packages or product. MiniCam is a true plug-and-play device. It sets up in less than 10 minutes, compared to 60 minutes for laser systems.. The integrated LED illumination eliminates the need for time-consuming alignment. Multiple interfaces – Ethernet TCP/IP, RS232/422 serial ports – allow MiniCam to interface quickly and easily with existing networks. The MiniCam has no external fans or filters, and requires maintenance only once a year, compared to two to four times a year for lasers. It also has a longer life than lasers, reducing the cost of ownership over the product’s life.
