Simatic HawkEye 4x, from Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D), is the name of the new series of handheld readers for identifying 1D and 2D codes. They identify a host of codes reliably in different cell sizes and under different contrast conditions. Diverse application areas include the identification of drive components in the automobile industry, reading of dot-peen codes on turbine blades in the aerospace industry, reading laser marks on medical equipment and enclosures, and reading laser marks on hard disks in the electronics industry. Simatic HawkEye 40 and HawkEye 45 read codes with medium to high contrast at cell sizes of more than 0.13 millimeters, as well as barcodes with bar sizes of more than 0.12 millimeters. Simatic HawkEye 40T and Simatic HawkEye 45T are equipped with a high-resolution read head, a powerful processor and the special Siemens direct part mark (DPM) decoding algorithm. This allows high-speed reading of small, lowcontrast codes or damaged codes. They also have an extra-large 2MB memory for data acquired offline.www.automation.siemens.com
