| **1** | Line scan camera: Scans the image line by line and communicates with the PC. | **2** | Optical system: Lenses and mounts |
| **3** | Illumination: Lights up the information carrier/scan area. | **4** | Illumination controller: Controls and monitors the illumination unit. |
| **5** | Cables and suitable network card or frame grabber in the PC: The image data are sent to a PC. | **6** | PC: The PC performs subsequent processing of the image data and can optionally control the illumination system. |
| **7** | Speed detection: The speed of the object/conveyor belt can be detected by an optional incremental encoder. The encoder can be connected to the camera. | **8** | Conveying unit: Moves the scanned object. |
| **9** | Frame trigger: A light barrier can be used to detect the object and start the image acquisition on time. The frame trigger can be connected to the camera. |  |  |
