Panasonic... the new name for
New
Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.
Image detection capability improved by image
correction using our new pre-processing functions
and original decoding functions.
In manufacturing environments, 2D codes are used to record and store various kinds
of data, using direct marking, as a method for product quality improvement and as a
response to quality-related problems.
Panasonic has produced the PD60/PD65 to realize high accuracy in the highly
problematic reading of the direct marking of 2D codes on metal parts.
Main Characteristics
1. Realization of highly accurate reading using original algorithm
2. Industry's first*

), ensuring maintainability
3. 2 types of image storage functions (write to main unit memory, export from USB port)
4. Simple setup of even high-level functions using powerful software tool "PDTOOL"
PDTOOL can be downloaded free of charge from our Web site (www.nais-e.com/vision/).

Oil-resistant construction
(IP67G*
2
) allows for peace-
of-mind even in oily conditions.
Out of consideration for actual usage
environments, we have created the industry's
first oil-resistant construction (IP67G*
2
) to allow
peace-of-mind when using even with gloves
covered in machine oil or detergent.
The lower part is too
bright so uniformity is
not possible and the
image is not stable.
The lower light sections
are turned off, the
brightness becomes
uniform and a stable
reading can be taken.

Control of Lighting Possible
Dual lighting
Reading under the optimum lighting
conditions is made possible by the
automatic light switching function, which
switches between 2 lighting patterns to
allow greater improvement of the
accuracy of reading of direct marking.

Improved Reading Accuracy
Development of original algorithm with image
processing technology cultivated over 20
years by MEW.
We have greatly improved the accuracy of
reading direct marking on metal, which is
highly problematic for automatic reading, and
greatly improved the image detection abilities
with image correction using our new pre-
processing functions and a new library.

Further Improvement of Decoding Capabilities
with Pre-Processing Functions
In pre-processing, various original algorithms are applied to images of
difficult-to-read 2D codes to improve their readability.
In the past, read accuracy was improved for stamp errors (stained, chipped,
tilted, flipped or black/white reversed codes) on hard-to-read metal surfaces.

Construction with Emphasis
on Maintenance
Just in case some problem occurs with the
product, the controller part and cable part
are connected with an oil-resistant
connector, allowing the controller part
to be replaced immediately. This
practical construction eliminates
the need for troublesome cable
tracing and re-laying and
allows priority to be given
to restoring the work
environment.
Realization of traceability. Images with read
errors (or all images) can be stored in the
main unit.
In addition, using the free utility tool PDTOOL,
images can be transferred to a PC and stored
in specified folders in real time.

With its oil-resistant capabilities, an industry

parts manufacturing environments (with
engines, transmissions, etc.) in which
machine oil and detergents are used.
