Tape library – bar codes on digital cassettes

The manufacturer needed to
integrate a bar code scanner
into their automated media
storage equipment.
Used for inventory control
purposes, the bar code scanner
would be mounted onto the
robotic arm and would scan the
bar codes on each of the media
tapes as they were stored and
retrieved by the system.

The symbol
Code Types: Code I28, 10 mil
black and white bar code printed onto a
narrow label attached to the end of the cassette.
Application:
The manufacturer mounts the bar code
scanner onto a robotic arm to read the
bar codes on the ends of the cassettes
before the item is stored or retrieved.

The installation

Since the bar code scanner was
mounted onto the robotic arm, it
needed to be light enough that it
would not slow down the robotic
arm or limit its functionality in
anyway.
In addition to meeting the
maximum weight requirements,
the MS-3’s small size allowed it
to easily fit onto the arm. The
MS-3 also provided the rugged
packaging required to withstand
high acceleration.

Why the MS-3 Laser Scanner

The MS-3 was selected because it
offered the following features:
• Small size

• Light weight
• Wide scan width

The bottom line
Since the MS-3 provided the
manufacturer with a lot of
mounting flexibility and
software functionality, they
were able to easily integrate it
into their existing system.
Minimal programming and
engineering time was required,
lowering the manufacturer’s
upfront investment.
Exceptional read rate
performance from the scanner,
provided the manufacturer with
a total low cost ownership down
the road, after the media
storage system was installed at
their customer sites.
