REA Electronik - REA ScanCheck 3

REA ScanCheck 3


The REA ScanCheck 3 is a universal high performance barcode verifier which meets ISO standards, producing reports to prove that quality agreements are fulfilled. Automatic size determination provides easy use and user independent verification.

The measuring system is based on a laser scanner system adapted to the requirements for verification. This technique leads to contactless measurements.

The ScanCheck 3 is fully portable being able to be powered by rechargeable AA batteries. For quick and ergonomic operation the REA ScanCheck 3 is equipped with a large colour display and a powerful 32 bit processor. Reports can be stored locally or saved on a PC using a USB or Network device and REA TransWin32 software.

In addition the REA ScanCheck allows connecting a portable battery powered report printer.

Hardware options

Report printer REA TD-GPT-U

The portable thermal printer is connected by a USB cable to the REA ScanCheck 3. The printer has its own power supply by using an internal rechargeable battery pack. The printer uses 57 mm wide thermal paper. The paper roll is fixed inside and cannot fall out while using the printer portable. The printer is able to print the scan reflectance profile.

20 mil Adaptor plate

To be able to measure large codes like ITF-14 or other codes on transport labels the measuring aperture can be increased to 20 mil by the aid of the 20 mil adaptor.

Lengthening plates

As positioning aid and in order to keep labels in the correct distance angles there are two different lengthening plates available. The plates are mandatory for curved surfaces and objects with no space to position the REA ScanCheck 3 correctly. These plates can be easily exchanged by a snap-in mechanism.

Software options

Optional symbologies

Additional code symbologies. Special codes from health industry and for parcel services.

REA TransWin32

A data capture program for Windows PCs. This enables the verification reports to be displayed, saved and printed on a PC. Additionally the REA ScanCheck 3 can be remotely configured by TransWin32. REA TransWin32 is designed for PCs with Windows 2000, XP and VISTA.

REA Article Look Up

This option allows an article description to be shown on the display of the REA ScanCheck 3. Each article can be assigned with price and date fields. The date fields will be compared with the date in a GS1-128 bar code.

If the encoded date is outside of the range specified in the Article Look Up the REA ScanCheck 3 will show an error message. This function is very useful to extend bar quality control with the verification of data like “best before use”.

Comparator

This option allows the comparison between a master code and the verified codes. If the verified code content is not identically with the preset, the REA ScanCheck 3 shows an error message.
