X Reads the Spot With Accu-Sort's Newest Bar Code Scanner, AXIOM-X(TM).PHILADELPHIA -- X reads the spot for AXIOM-X(TM), the most innovative and reliable bar code scanner A device specialized for reading bar codes and converting them into either the ASCII or EBCDIC digital character code. Pen scanners, also known as wand scanners, were the first type of bar code scanner developed in the 1970s. from Accu-Sort(R) Systems. AXIOM-X is built on a modular system that provides higher read rates, greater flexibility and lower total cost of ownership than previous systems. And it does so in a compact, maintenance-free design. For High Resolution Image: http://ggcomm.com/accusort/axiomx.jpg AXIOM-X is an omnidirectional In all directions. For example, an omnidirectional antenna can transmit or receive signals in all directions. Contrast with directional. See RF. laser reader housed in a rugged, modular enclosure that offers up to 1,120 scans per second. It also offers the largest transport coverage in its class. One simple scan head An optical sensing device in a scanner or fax machine that is moved across the image to be scanned. is needed for most applications, saving the cost and complexity associated with a multiple scan head solution. "Why use multiple scanners to cover a large read area when one AXIOM-X can do it alone?" said Mike Bosha, product manager for Accu-Sort. Multiple AXIOM-X units are easily networked using a standard client/controller configuration. This eliminates the need for an additional multiplexer See multiplexor and multiplexing. multiplexer - multiplexor and makes tunnel configurations seamless. That makes the system ideal for a variety of industries, including parcel distribution, retail/wholesale distribution, airline baggage handling and tire manufacturing. AXIOM-X easily handles applications such as multi-sided arrays, high-speed parcel sortation Identifying objects that are stamped with a bar code and routing them to the appropriate destination. Sortation is typically a high-speed process used in the transportation industry by companies such as Federal Express, UPS and others. See sort and bar code. , high-speed material handling and manufacturing. "With AXIOM-X, there are no more 'lost parcels,'" Bosha said. "AXIOM-X uses multiple lasers and receiving optics to ensure constant scanning and focusing over the complete depth of field, even with parcels of differing heights that are side-by-side on the transport. This ensures that there are no missed labels or miss-sorts." Accu-Sort has made installation faster by creating a single unit with a modular scan head and wiring base. The modular system simplifies installation and reduces repair and replacement downtime. The plug-in scan head is available in 2- or 4-laser configurations that allow users to pick the correct "horsepower" for their application. AXIOM-X also shares the same wiring base, power supply and mounting brackets with the rest of the AXIOM family to reduce costs and installation time. To lower the total cost of ownership, Accu-Sort built the AXIOM-X without fans or filters, so there is no non-value-added maintenance time needed. A single person is able to install the smaller, lighter units. Accu-Sort also has made setup and operation easier with its upgraded AXCESS(TM) software. AXCESS provides a familiar user interface that enables reader configuration without the need for onsite service. The software has the ability to learn match codes and offers several bar code filtering options. It provides full function trigger control for the laser, which saves laser life, and increased DRX DRX X-Ray Diffraction DRX Digital Receiver DRX Discontinuous Reception DRX Discontinuously Reinforced Metal DRX Dynamic Range Extension DRX Dvd Rewritable (R) sampling frequency for higher read rates. DRX is Accu-Sort's patented decoding de·code tr.v. de·cod·ed, de·cod·ing, de·codes 1. To convert from code into plain text. 2.

Operation is easier with built-in storage modules that retain parameters in both the scan head and wiring base. In the event replacement ever becomes necessary, customers can replace the scan head and the correct parameters are installed with the push of a button. AXIOM-X offers several data transfer options, including UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil.

Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output standard connections. AXCESS software allows users to configure and monitor AXIOM-X readers from anywhere in the facility. No costly additional peripherals are needed for most applications. The AXIOM-X is an enhancement to Accu-Sort's popular AXIOM product line. Bosha said the technology that powers Accu-Sort's newest generation of scanners has proven itself in the field for more than two years "AXIOM-X is capable of handling the most demanding applications," he said.
