■
Application
The main functions of SIMATIC MV440 are:
•
Reading 1D and 2D codes.
•
Optical character recognition (OCR).
•
Object detection.
•
Verification (measuring the code quality).
•
Comparing the read result with a preset value.
•
Formatting of read results for further use.
The application range of the SIMATIC MV440 product family
covers all sectors and areas of industrial production and
logistics. The possible applications include the identification of
stationary parts through to extremely fast moving parts on a
conveyor belt. The powerful integrated lighting allows a very
compact design. The device has IP67 degree of protection and
is therefore equipped for harsh industrial environments.
Due to its particularly powerful lighting, lenses and sensor tech-
nology, MV440 specializes in direct part marking (DPM) applica-
tions. Due to the high picture quality, MV440 recommends itself
for measuring the marking quality (verification) in the area of
DPM.
Due to the properties and functions described, the emphasis for
MV440 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).
Further information can be found in the supplied manual.

Design
SIMATIC MV440 is a compact, stationary code reading system.
It consists of one basic unit, which can be configured with other
individual components (lens, ring light and protective barrel).
This allows the MV440 to be optimally adapted to the application
conditions.
The SIMATIC MV440 basic unit is available in three versions that
differ only with regard to the resolution of the CCD sensor and
the associated recording speed mode and read rate. All three
versions of the basic unit have identical functionality:
•
SIMATIC MV440 SR
640 pixels x 480 pixels, 50 full screens/s
•
SIMATIC MV440 HR
1024 pixels x 768 pixels, 20 full screens/s
•
SIMATIC MV440 UR
1600 pixels x 1200 pixels, 15 full screens/s
Using the following accessories, the SIMATIC MV440 basic units
can be tailored to the requirements of the application. For a
detailed listing of the individual accessories, please refer to the
section entitled "Accessories":
• Lenses
•
Protective barrel for lens
•
Ring lights
The following accessories are available for the connection and
installation:
•
Flexible mounting plate
•
Power DIO RS232 cable (M16 connector on open end)
•
M12 Ethernet cable (varying lengths)
•
Ethernet cable (M12 to RJ45) for commissioning/lab
operation; 2 m in length
•
Special communication module cable for M16 connector
(M16 to M12) for connecting to RFID communication modules
(ASM). Can be expanded using standard communication
module cables if required.
•
Plug-in power supply for demonstration and lab operation
(for office environment only)
•
CD with installation/operating instructions (supplied with unit)
