A NEW MATRIX FOR IMAGE READING
DATALOGIC’S new Matrix 320 2MP image reader empowers traceability applications in intralogistics, distribution, 3PL, retail logistics and shop floor environments. The Matrix 320 reader features 2MP sensor (1920x1080 pixels with a 16:9 form factor), achieving an extra-large Field of View (FOV) on the horizontal axis that competes against 3MP readers.
“This new Matrix 320 reader provides the highest market application flexibility due to its modular design and a reduced number of models with a complete portfolio of lenses, lightings, filters and accessories,” says Datalogic product marketing manager Morena Corradini.
The compact new reader offers full industrial connectivity and rotating connectors on top for ease of installation in industrial environments. The reader’s new configurable 360-degree multi-colour read feedback, coupled with green/red spot technology, provides outstanding visual feedback that will simplify the

installation and maintenance, with reduced time and cost.
A new web diagnostic suite and high- performance image saving capability provide information to improve the production process and set preventative maintenance for higher productivity and lower maintenance cost.
PACK King has developed a solution for start-ups and smaller businesses needing a more efficient and safer way to wrap pallets.
The Rapid Wrapper is a semi auto wrapping system at around half the price of masted wrappers. Its notched base means it can be stowed on a standard pallet rack and pull out plugs remove the risks from
trailing cords. The wrapper is 286mm high and its turntable can be rotated using a foot pedal, removing the need to walk around the pallet and lost time in the loading process.
Once a load is stacked, film is tied to the pallet from the hand dispenser. Then the foot control allows the powered turntable to complete the job. The operator tensions the film and overlaps it. A top cover can also be fitted and wrapped into the load.
Rapid Wrapper is movable and stowable and can wrap up to two tonnes. It has a 1220mm diameter heavy duty chequer plate top deck; 240v extension lead socket and 24v foot control. The Rapid Wrapper is ready to go, straight out of the custom built fully enclosed shipping crate.
SCARA SCALABLE AND RELIABLE
OMRON’S new i4L SCARA robot delivers quality along with scalability, preventative maintenance, and integration flexibility. It is capable of high speed, high-precision motion with payloads up to 5kg.
Interactive maintenance alarms and an RGB dome light can help maximise uptime. A status light helps to
diagnose problems faster
and more efficiently, increasing value in every stage of the product lifecycle. It is ideal for high-speed repeatable applications and comes with three options of working envelope with
reaches of 350, 450 and 550mm.
OMRON Oceania managing director Henry
Zhou said: “The new i4L SCARA robot gives users competitive performance and
reliability at an affordable price. It can work 24 hours a day tirelessly,
punctually, and safely.”
The i4L offers simple integration
with a compact design and footprint. Horizontal (table mount) or vertical (wall mount)
installation is possible without additional adapters or brackets.
Cable connections can be arranged so that they exit through or are parallel to the
mounting surface.

SPRAYING INTO ORBIT
The OC200 Orbital Cleaner is a modular system using a main cleaner assembly with interchangeable rotors, nozzle carriers and nozzles. It is suitable for tanks up to 35m in diameter which require a 360 degree spray pattern.
The OC200 offers a choice of 3 nozzle carrier options – 2, 3 or 4 nozzles – which fit onto the standard central core of the cleaner assembly. There is also the option of 7 different nozzle diameters ranging from 9-15mm and 3 nozzle lengths – long, short and extended.
The whole system is designed to be easy to interchange and adapt to the cleaning task at hand ensuring impact values, cleaning diameter and dwell time are optimised and efficient.
It has a flow rate of 317-1093 l/min with a pressure range of 4-10 bar and is suitable for use with water temperatures up to 95°C. The cleaner has a full spray pattern time of eight to 21 minutes.
The main cleaner assembly uses a locking mechanism to provide fast and easy disassembly for maintenance. While each nozzle includes self-cleaning jets to prevent product build-up to extend service intervals. The modular nozzle design also means it’s easy to replace worn nozzles when eventually required.
The OC200 Orbital Cleaner is specifically engineered for use in large process tanks and storage vessels where “clean-in- place” processes are required.
OC200 Orbital Cleaner assembly, components and
service kits are available from Tecpro Australia
