Key features of the SIMATIC MV420:

• Code reading
• Comparing the read result with a preset value
• Formatting of read results for further use

The range of application for the SIMATIC MV420 product family extends to practically all areas of industrial production. The possibilities for use range from identification of stationary parts to fast moving parts on conveyor systems. The high-performance integrated lighting allows for an extremely compact design. The unit is protected from environmental influences with a degree of protection IP67. The SIMATIC MV420 code readers are therefore suitable for all industrial applications, also for direct marking (Direct Part Marking - DPM). In addition to industrial production, thanks to its small size and flexibility, the SIMATIC MV420 code reader is also ideally suited to the packaging industry (e.g. F&B, pharmaceuticals and tobacco).

The MV420 code readers include all common communication interfaces, such as Ethernet or PROFINET, and can therefore be connected to a wide variety of systems. An integrated RS422 interface makes it possible to use all of the RFID communication modules, such those required for the PROFIBUS connection. In this case, the combination of code reader and RFID reader is also possible on one communication module.

The reading devices are particularly easy to use and commission despite the wide variety of options for use. Parameters are automatically configured for most applications. If reconfiguration is required, however, parameterization can be carried out without the need for pre-installed software via the integrated Web server using an Internet browser.

Due to the properties and functions described, the emphasis for MV420 is on the following sectors and applications:

• Automobile industry:
  • Needle markings on various drive components (DPM), e.g. cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, manifolds.
  • Laser markings on various power train components (DPM), e.g. camshafts, crankshafts, cylinder piston, connecting rods, gearbox components.
  • Laser markings on electronic components, printed circuit boards, or enclosures.
• Pharmaceutical industry, food industry (F&B), tobacco industry:
  • Print or laser markings on medicines (DPM, OCR).
  • Recording the contents of cartons (up to 150 codes).
  • Read portal by linking several cameras.
• Aerospace industry:
  • Needle or laser markings on gas turbine blades (DPM).
  • Needle or laser markings on jet engine components (DPM).
• Medical equipment:
  • Laser markings on heart pacemakers and other implants (DPM).
  • Laser markings on medical devices (DPM).
• Electronics:
  • Needle or laser markings on hard disk components.
  • Lasered or etched markings on hard disk components (DPM).
• Semiconductors:
  • Laser markings on rigid and flexible circuit boards (DPM).
  • Laser markings on enclosed semiconductor components, heat sinks or heat exchangers (DPM).
