FM515 Industrial Fixed-Mount
The FM515 Series is a high-speed industrial fixed-mount barcode scanner family developed specifically for laboratory automation, in-vitro diagnostics, and track-and-trace applications where reliable close-range reading of long 1D barcodes is essential. Designed for laboratory environments, the FM515 Series provides a wide scan angle and optimized close-range performance, making it ideal for reading barcodes placed on test tubes, sample containers, and laboratory vials. The scanners can efficiently capture up to eight rows of lab vials from a fixed position, significantly improving workflow speed and reducing manual handling requirements. The product family includes two installation variants to simplify integration into different laboratory systems. The FM515-H uses a front beam exit configuration, while the FM515-V provides a lateral beam exit design. This flexibility allows easier integration into existing laboratory instruments, automation platforms, and sample tracking systems. With a scanning speed of up to 780 scans per second, the FM515 Series delivers extremely fast barcode capture performance for demanding laboratory processes where throughput and timing are critical. The scanners help accelerate sample identification, tracking, and traceability operations while supporting continuous high-volume workflows. The FM515 Series is built around a 2500-pixel CCD image sensor and supports all major 1D barcode symbologies with reliable decoding performance down to 6 mil resolution. The wide scan angle and optimized depth of field make the scanners particularly effective when reading elongated laboratory labels positioned very close to the scanner. The compact industrial housing allows easy installation into space-constrained equipment while the durable aluminium enclosure and IP54 protection provide reliable long-term operation in laboratory environments exposed to dust, moisture, and continuous usage. The wide 5–24V DC input voltage range simplifies integration into various industrial and laboratory systems without requiring additional power conversion hardware. RS-232 communication ensures stable integration into diagnostic instruments, laboratory automation platforms, and industrial control systems. The FM515 Series is an ideal solution for laboratory equipment manufacturers, medical automation integrators, and diagnostic system providers looking for a compact, durable, and extremely fast fixed-mount scanner optimized for close-range vial and sample identification.
