HawkEye 1500 Series Data Matrix Readers

Whether the application is a printed label or a challenging directly marked part with little or no contrast, the HawkE ye 1500 series readers provide cost-effective, robust reading solutions. HawkEye 1515: Universal reader for the broadest range of Data Matrix reading applications HawkEye 1525: Data Matrix reader with distortion-free, dark-field illumination, typically used for highly-reflective parts HawkEye 1510: Data Matrix reader for applications requiring flexibility in the selection of lighting and optics.

HawkEye 1510

The HawkEye 1510 fixed-station reader delivers cutting-edge Data Matrix reading performance in a compact package that fits in the palm of your hand. Unique features such as the auto-learn capability and intelligent imaging simplify integration and deployment to provide easy setup, line changeover and maintenance.



Microscan's industry-leading decoding algorithms allow the HawkEye 1510 to robustly read damaged, distorted or otherwise challenging codes directly marked on a variety of surfaces at rates of up to 30 parts per second. Built-in verification also enables users to monitor mark quality on a real-time basis to ensure readability. In addition to Data Matrix, the HawkEye 1510 also reads and auto-discriminates a variety of other 1-0 or 2-D codes.

The HawkEye 1510 can be configured with a variety of industry-standard C- or CS-mount lenses and lighting options to acquire high-quality images of Data Matrix codes applied on part surfaces via laser, dot-peen, inkjet, or other marking technologies. Its intelligent imaging selects optimum parameters for each new part. eliminating the need for user intervention often required to deal with part-to-part variations.

HawkEye 1515

The Hawkeye 1515 is similar to the 1510 but utilizes integrated LED lighting and optics to acquire high-quality images of Data Matrix codes applied on a variety of part surfaces via laser, dot-peen, inkjet, or other marking technologies. Its intelligent imaging selects optimum parameters for each new part, eliminating the need for user intervention often required to deal with part-to-part variations.
