With a total of 6 reading stations in the cylinder head production line and 8 reading stations in the crankshaft line, matrix code reading was possible. The individual reading stations are each integrated into the interlinking in front of a machining cell. For reading, the components are mechanically stopped in the concatenation and the reading is triggered via a system signal. In order to achieve the highest possible reading reliability, an external light source is used for illumination, which is supplied with the camera as a self-contained unit. The reading results are transmitted to the conveyor control system via a bus system. Despite difficult reading conditions, our hardware and software package provides reliable reading with low integration effort.
