(SICK: Minneapolis) -- SICK, a leading manufacturer of sensors, safety systems, machine vision, and automatic identification products for factory and logistics automation, has launched its Lector620 image-based reader for 1D and 2D codes. The Lector620 is ideal for track and traceability applications.

The Lector620 offers intelligent setup and intuitive operation, including teach-in with auto-focus. This allows customers to mount the scanner at any distance from the code and automatically optimize settings for the best possible read. There is also no need to use a PC to set up the scanner, greatly reducing setup time. Multiple on-board interfaces, such as Ethernet TCP/IP, CAN, USB, and RS232, ensure flexible use.
