Capture & Process

that Enables Stable Reading
Our original corrective capture and process
techniques provide the best-in-its-class reading
capability even for difficult-to-read codes.

A newly developed algorithm

automatically selects
the optimal settings from
as many as 250000
correction patterns.

Best in its class

Reading Capability
A newly developed algorithm provides best-inits-class reading capability. Difficult codes can
also be scanned stably, including those directly
marked on uneven workpieces.

Easy Tuning
The SR-750 is just as easy to operate as any
other SR Series so that anyone can enjoy its
excellent reading performance. In addition, the
optimal settings can be obtained in three simple
steps through automatic tuning.

Processes Captured Codes

Thanks to condition-based processing, read errors are reduced even if codes on captured images are difficult to read.

Local Concentration Black/White

Classification Algorithm

2D Code Search in Captured Images

Conventionally, black/white thresholds are set for the entire

code, which makes it difficult to detect unevenly printed codes.
To solve this problem, we have developed a new algorithm,
called local concentration black/white classification algorithm,
to allow thresholds to be set for each part of a code. This
algorithm enables highly accurate black/white classification
even for DPM codes, on which uneven print density often
occurs.

Conventional
Technique

A newly developed WHS (High Speed & High Stability) search

programme can detect a 2D code in the field of view
immediately so that high-speed, stable search is ensured even
when the code position changes or there are several 2D codelike patterns in the field of view.

there is a codelike pattern in

Defective Code Positioning Programme

Binary
Processing

Our local concentration black/white classification algorithm divides a code into

smaller pieces to perform binary processing using thresholds specified for each
part. This enables accurate black/white classification without being affected by
uneven print density.
* T he above illustration is only for reference and does not mean that a code is
always divided into 16 parts.

A newly developed
defective code positioning
programme can identify
four corners of a 2D code
based on a similar code
detection pattern, leading
to a significant
improvement in code
detection performance.

Stable Operation with the Preventive Maintenance Function

Image Quality Check by Code Reader

The SR-750 Series is the first product in this class that is capable of judging the image quality of a scanned code.
This enables you to identify image deterioration before an error occurs, thus ensuring stable operation.

Matching Level Judging Function

Enables safety factors of scanning to be compared

After a code is scanned successfully, it can be determined how easily the

SR-750 Series has scanned it. This information can be used to check the safety
factor of scanning or as a correlation index for the parameter bank during
tuning.

Two codes, which both have a reading rate of 100%, can still
be distinguished by a safety factor

The above shows that the left code has a higher safety factor than the right one.

Master/Slave Function for Using Multiple Readers Effectively

This function reduces the programming load on the host computer drastically when multiple SR-750 readers are used.
Two modes are available: multi-drop link mode and multi-head mode.
(The SR-D100 Series can also be used in combination.)

Multi-drop link mode

Host

HUB

In this mode, data read by multiple SR-750 Series readers

(up to 32) working for different purposes are sent collectively by
a single master to the host. This eliminates the need for the host to
control communication among multiple readers, simplifying
programmes in the system.
