Easy migration to 2D code reading
A brand new range of 2D code reading products will provide an inexpensive solution for businesses to migrate from the existing less robust 1D barcode methods
The iQSun 880 is the first 3D Laser Scanner to incorporate a modular design.
The scanner is divided into four modules: the distance sensor, the mirror axis, the pan axis, and a Pentium III PC.
All modules are designed to be interchangeable.

Compact bar code reader offers versatile mounting
For its versatile, high speed reading or decoding of linear and 2D codes on flat work and cartons within a depth of field of 50mm, the new AV1200 from Accu-Sort may be unmatched.
Customers can now upgrade to new and improved modules instead of having to purchase a whole new scanner.
iQSun offers a lifetime upgrade path to keep the scanner up to date.
Future modules with different features will be offered such as a distance sensor with an even higher accuracy and/or color distance sensors.
The laser scanner can be used without an external PC or Laptop, a first in the industry.
All data is recorded on an internal hard disk drive, which can subsequently be easily removed and plugged into a docking station.
Contained in a 15.7in x 6.3in x 11in unit, the iQSun 880 captures a 360-degree field of view area in less than 160 seconds.
Using the latest continuous wave laser technology and scanning effectively over 240,000 3D measurements per second with an accuracy of less than 3mm of error at a 30 meter range, the iQSun 880 3D Laser Scanner is arguably the fastest scanner in the world today and the only scanner of its kind with a surrounding field of view of 360 degrees horizontal and 320 degrees vertical.
