The Leuze CR100M0 is a compact fixed CCD reader in the CR100 series, designed for automatic identification where the label passes the scanner rather than the other way around. A 700 scans-per-second line scanner with a prism deflecting mirror exits the beam to the side, so the 55 x 52 x 20 mm housing mounts into tight machine frames.

How does it trigger reads in an automated cell?

A single switching input opens the reading gate on demand, and a switching output signals a good read or a no-read to the PLC. The RS-232 process interface carries the decoded data, while a second service interface handles configuration, so commissioning does not interrupt the running line.

• Reads 2/5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN/UPC, and Codabar
• Modulus size 0.15 to 0.5 mm, read distance 15 to 67 mm
• Metal housing, IP40, 5 VDC supply at 250 mA max
• USB 2.0 cable with 1.8 m length for direct PC integration

For lab automation and pharmaceutical logistics, the CR100M0 replaces handheld scanning at a fixed station, removing operator variance from the read cycle.
