Microscan’s MicroHawk family includes an integrated imaging engine and three industrial-rated miniature imagers with unrivaled flexibility, ease of use, and universal application potential. These micro-sized devices offer a fully-configurable framework, allowing users to choose decoding capability, decode speed, lighting, camera lens, and sensor, and to package them into the MicroHawk reader with the ideal dimensions, industrial rating, and connectivity required by the application. MicroHawk also includes a range of machine vision tools and provides users a single hardware solution with options to meet any decoding or inspection task, in any integration space, and at any experience level. The MicroHawk platform is designed to allow its users to choose their device’s software capability to accomplish barcode reading, machine vision, or a combination of the two on a single, adaptable platform. The browser-based WebLink interface provides MicroHawk cameras with X-Mode decoding technology for reading code.
