The FM-5 bar code and machine vision scanner from JADAK is a fixed-mount camera scanner featuring a dual-purpose sensor that allows scanning in both color and black and white. The FM-5 uses an area sensor developed specifically for reading bar codes, which allows it to perform in applications that require aggressive 1D and 2D bar code scanning and machine vision image processing functions. When used in color mode, the FM-5 can perform tasks such as color verification, inspection for defects in color, and sorting scanned parts based on color. Constructed of solid-state electronics, the scanner can be optimized to meet specific customer needs.
