Mini Hawk ESD Safe
Microscan has added an ESD-safe fixed-mount barcode imager to its Mini Hawk line. The Mini Hawk ESD Safe combines a compact size with high-resolution optics and Microscan X-Mode decoding algorithms and is suitable for electronics applications.
The Mini Hawk ESD Safe enables the close-range reading of difficult direct part marks on static-sensitive components.
The miniature barcode imager can be integrated into any ESD-sensitive assembly process to read 1D and 2D barcodes directly marked on each part.
Key features
- Nickel coating
- ESD-safe labels and cabling
- X-Mode decode algorithms
- Easy setup and deployment
- RoHS/WEEE compliance
- Autofocus
- Visible performance indicators
- High-speed, high-resolution configurations

Legible, accurate barcodes have never been more important than they are today, when automated supply chains depend on data accuracy to ensure the reliable performance of global operations. Machine vision verification is one tool that can be used to ensure that barcodes meet a consistent level of quality for readability in an automated process and that bad codes are identified before they result in costly failures.

The Unique Device Identification (UDI) programme is a US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) initiative. The goal is to improve the nation’s health by standardising the marking on medical devices so that all of those involved in their production, distribution, stocking and usage can readily identify the device in question and get reliable access to critical data concerning its use and history. Some might think that medical device identification will be easy — just put a barcode on the ...
