Microscan - Laser Scanner - MS-1 Scan Engine
Introduction to Microscan MS-1 Engine
The MS-1 is one of the smallest and lightest scanning engines in its class. The MS-1 offers embedded power management, a bidirectional directional link for dynamic configuration, and both low- and high-density versions. The MS-1 is the ideal scanning tool for OEM design engineers looking for a reliable and inexpensive embedded barcode scanning solution. Yes, the following reasons are enough for this first-generation device:
- Compact and lightweight: The MS-1 has a footprint of 1.26" (32 mm) equal to 0.95" (24 mm) and is 0.44" (11 mm) tall. The engine weighs less than 0.3 ounces (8). ,4 g) easily fits into robotic equipment or into tight spaces.
- Readability: The MS-1 engine can easily read the most difficult codes and excels at reading on highly reflective surfaces.
- Easy Setup: The ESP software provides easy configuration of the MS-1, including trigger setup and icon setup.
- Equipped with the two most common types of connection ports for you to choose from are USB and RS-232. You can easily customize this handheld barcode reader more easily.
Features of the Microscan MS-1 barcode reader engine
Along with the above characteristics are capabilities that are useful in a variety of business models
- Easy setup
- Extremely fast barcode reading up to 530 times/second
- Low draw power 5V
- Flexible communication
- Smallest and lightest in the MS series segment
The machine is widely applied in industrial fields such as robotics, clinic equipment, point of sale kiosks, shop POS machines. And the machine is also the basis for the later and more modern devices of Microscan, such as the HS-9.
