AXIOM-X bar-code scanner

The new AXIOM-X bar-code scanner from Accu-Sort Systems is built on a modu lar system that provides higher read rates, greater flexibility and lower total cost of ownership than pre vious systems. And it does so in a compact, mainte nance-free design.

AXIOM-X is an omni-directional laser reader housed in a rugged, modular enclosure that offers up to 1,120 scans per second. It also covers a large read area.

Only one simple scan head is needed for most applications, saving the cost and complexity associated with a multiple scan head solution. Multiple AXIOM-X units are easily networked using a standard client/controller configuration. This eliminates the need for an additional multiplexer and makes tunnel configurations seamless. The system is suitable for a variety of applications, including parcel distribution and retail/wholesale distribution.

AXIOM-X also easily accommodates multi-sided arrays, highspeed parcel sortation, high-speed material handling and manufacturing. This new scanner uses multiple lasers and receiving optics to ensure constant scanning and focusing over the complete depth of field, even with parcels of differing heights. This ensures that there are no missed labels or mis-sorts.

The system features a single unit with a modular scan head and wiring base that simplifies installation and reduces repair and replacement downtime. The plug-in scan head is available in 2- or 4-laser configurations that allow users to pick the correct "horsepower" for their application.
