MECHATRONICS SYSTEM FOR 2D DATAMATRIX CODE MARK VERIFICATION

Sa？etak Datamatrix 2D code is commonly used in a wide variety of different industries to store information about the manufactured product. Depending on the manufacturing line topology, there is a risk of downtime due to poor marking quality of the Datamatrix code. This article describes an example of mechatronics system for mark verification of Datamatrix 2D code in the tobbacco industry. For the better understanding of this mechatronics system individual components of the system itself are clarified. Segments of the 2D Datamatrix code are explained and the industrial reader which is used to scan the code is depicted. In various mechatronics systems and automation processes in general object proximity detection is often needed. Because of that three types of commonly used optical proximity sensors are explained. After explaining the system components the working principle of the system is described. The working principle is explained both in words and using a flowchart
