KEYENCE SR-1000 Series: Setting the New Standard for Code Reading

The KEYENCE SR-1000 Series is an advanced autofocus 1D and 2D code reader designed for high-resolution reading, offering unparalleled flexibility and performance in industrial applications.

Challenges Code Readers Face

Traditional code readers often encounter issues such as:

  1. Reader Cannot Be Mounted at Desired Distance: Frustration in selecting the right reader and lens combination for specific distances, requiring systems to be designed around reader specifications.
  2. Optimal Settings Are Unknown: Difficulty in achieving stable operation, with successful setup not guaranteeing error-free performance during actual use, leading to lengthy setup times.
  3. Reading Fails Due to Glare: Problems arising from glare on surfaces, necessitating specific mounting angles or external lighting solutions.

1 Answer: Just Press the Button

The SR-1000 Series simplifies operation with intuitive features:

Autofocus

The reader can be mounted at any distance and maintain a clear image, with a maximum range of 1000 mm. This capability enhances mounting flexibility.

Automatic Tuning

Automatically determines optimal settings for exposure time, image processing filter, and other parameters, offering approximately 750,000 combinations for precise adjustment.

Automatic Polarization

Glare can be eliminated, making reader angle adjustment or external lighting unnecessary. This feature is a world's first.

Setting Complete

The reader features both polarized and direct light sources. Automatic polarizing filter selection eliminates glare and allows flexible mounting.

[Image Description: A comparison showing code reading results with and without a polarizing filter, demonstrating glare reduction.]

Autofocus: One Reader for Many Applications

Mounting is less restricted by performance or specifications, improving flexibility in machine designs for production lines and jigs. The autofocus capability allows a single reader to detect codes on targets of varying heights.

Field of View 4x Larger

[Image Description: A visual comparison showing the significantly larger field of view of the SR-1000 Series compared to a conventional field of view.]

The reader excels even when the code is small (down to 0.063 mm / 0.002"), at distances up to 1000 mm (39.37"), and when the position changes.

2 Automatic Tuning: Optimal Setting of Exposure Time, Filters, and More

The code reader automatically optimizes exposure time, image processing filter, and other parameters based on the target and mounting distance for clear image capture.

Correction Items and Examples of Affected Codes

[Image Description: Visual examples of various code defects (dark, low contrast, thin printing, distortion, stray dots) and their corresponding corrections.]

Applications

3 Automatic Polarization Control: Ensuring Flexible Mounting

The automatic polarization control function, a world's first, eliminates glare, removing the need for mounting angle adjustment or external lighting. Combined with autofocus, it offers high mounting flexibility.

[Diagram Description: A cross-section showing polarized light (with polarizing filter) and direct light (without polarizing filter) interacting with a surface.]

Examples of Glare Elimination:

New Optical Design for Stable Reading: CPC (Compound Parabolic Concentrator) Illumination

A specially shaped reflector provides high-efficiency illumination by reducing light intensity loss from high-intensity LEDs. Gold plating maximizes reflectance, achieving brightness exceeding conventional levels by 400% for uniform illumination even at long ranges.

[Diagram Description: A comparison of conventional model illumination (diffuse light) versus SR-1000 illumination (concentrated light within the field of view).]

Two Modes Can Be Selected Depending on the Application

Smart Mode (NEW): Unaffected by Changing Conditions

For consistent reading regardless of code conditions. Fluctuations in code conditions are predicted during tuning, and expanded reading settings are automatically generated to ensure stable reading even when contrast changes, eliminating the need for reconfiguration.

The reader predicts 43 patterns of change in printing conditions, including variations in thickness, darkness, and lightness.

[Diagram Description: Visual representations of code variations: Thicker/Thinner, Darker/Lighter, with a reference code.]

Custom Mode: Detecting Changes in Code Conditions

For code quality management. The SR-1000 can make judgments on code quality, detecting degradation before reading errors occur, enabling predictive maintenance of the printing process.

Matching Level Judgment Function

Provides code quality comparison. Two codes with a 100% reading rate can still be distinguished by their matching level (e.g., 75 vs. 43).

Code Verification Function

Verification based on code quality standards. Output data includes total grade judgment for each parameter.

[Note: This function is designed for 2D codes like QR, DataMatrix, GS1 Composite, PDF417.]

Supported Standards: ISO/IEC 15415, ISO/IEC TR 29158, ISO/IEC 16022, SAE AS9132, SEMI T10-0701.

Steps: 1. Trigger Settings, 2. Destination for Read Data, 3. Communication Protocol (EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET, TCP, UDP, PLC link), 4. Advanced Settings.

Sophisticated Measurement Modes

The SR-1000 Series offers pre-verification and measurement of allowable line speed for high-speed code reading.

Reading Rate Measurement

Measures reading success rate without conducting tests on multiple targets on the actual production line.

Reading Tact Measurement

Determines reading cycle time (tact) without on-site tests.

Reading Depth Measurement (NEW)

Determines depth of field from mounting distance and code used for tuning, without on-site tests. Re-tuning is required if mounting distance changes.

[Diagram Description: Illustrates near and far reading zones with a visual representation of light concentration.]

Line Speed Measurement (NEW)

Allows checking allowable line speed before installation, reducing setup time for production line designs.

[Diagram Description: A visual representation of a conveyor belt with a code reader, indicating allowable line speed.]
