Quadrus Verifier— Factory Floor Ready Data Matrix Verifier!
Quadrus® Verifier is a fully integrated Data Matrix verifier ready for factory floor use. The Quadrus Verifier is a precision instrument that analyzes, measures and reports the quality of a symbol against the quality criteria in established standards.

Implementing a verification procedure into the production process is critical for real-time results of symbol marking. A faulty marking system will be detected early and reduce the number of rejected parts. In addition, by eliminating inferior Data Matrix symbols and ensuring consistent readability, manufacturers will increase productivity, improve operator satisfaction, and avoid unnecessary costs due to returned products and remarking.

Features:
Factory Floor Ready
Quadrus Verifier is the first Data Matrix verifier designed specifically for use in a factory environment. Unlike most verifiers that are mounted on stands designed for the lab, the compact, lightweight design of the Quadrus Verifier provides easy integration into manufacturing processes. The self-contained, factory-calibrated system offers flexible mounting and allows the Quadrus Verifier to be adapted to any application quickly and easily.

Fully Calibrated System
Quadrus Verifier provides the user with a ready-to-use system. Simply center a symbol in the field of view, trigger, and receive a symbol verification report. There is no need to focus the optics or set the light angles, as these are calibrated and set at the factory. The fixed optics and pre-set illumination angles ensure the Quadrus Verifier provides consistent, reliable, and accurate results every time.

Illumination Chamber
The fully enclosed illumination chamber is specifically engineered to block out ambient light and provide the controlled environment required for accurate, repeatable verification.

ESP® Easy Setup Program
