Streamlining operations

An engine manufacturer needed

to maximize production by

increasing line speeds.

They needed a scanner that

could read the bar codes on the

engines as they moved passed

the scanner without requiring a

line stop for each read. After

installing several MS-880s, the

manufacturer not only

eliminated the production

delays, but were able to

increase line speeds even more

than they originally had

intended.

Application:

The bar codes on the engine are applied in ladder orientation

and pass by the MS-880 bar code scanners at a distance of

approximately 48 inches.

The installation

The MS-880 was mounted to a post

beside the conveyor. The laser is

programmed as a static line and

crosses the conveyor at a 45 degree

angle to read the bar codes on the

engine block approximately 48

inches away.

Since the MS-880 has an extended

read range of more than 7.5 feet, it

could easily read the bar codes on

the engine block over the required

distance without slowing down

production speeds.

Why the MS-880

The MS-880 provided the following

features:

•Long read range

•Able to read over a 48”

distance

•High speed scan rate

•Auto focus

•Sweeping programmable raster

•Allowed engine

manufacturer to get a good

read regardless of where the

engine block was located on

the conveyor.

The bottom line

By installing a data

capture system that

could read the bar

codes dynamically

without requiring

conveyor stops, the

manufacturer was able

to increase production

throughput and meet

product demands
