HBCS-A995 Bar Code
Reader Optical Nest
Assembly
HP also offers the HBCS-A995
bar code reader optical nest
assembly for custom applications.
This device consists of a rugged
sapphire ball bonded to a trans-
parent polycarbonate assembly .
The HBCS-A995 optical assembly
is an integral part of the HBCS-
A998/A999 tip and HBCS-AXXX
wand construction. The HBCS-
A995 can be bonded to a tip or a
case by either press fitting or
using a suitable adhesive.
Ultrasonic bonding is not
recommended. The HBCS-A995
polycarbonate assembly is UV
opaque and is made of Lexan
303-11103.
HBCS-2999 Tip
Bar Code Reader Tips
Description
Hewlett-Packard offers a range of
tips to be used in conjunction
with HP optical reflective sensors
and as replacement tips for the
HP family of wand products. This
combination results in a high
performance optical system,
which is unique in its size and
precision. In addition to their
optical performance, the tips
protect the sensors and act as
mechanical holders. With a
rugged sapphire front end, these
tips are generally self cleaning
and should last for many years
under normal use.
All tips have an internal reference
ledge that positions the sensors
so that the maximum signal point
(MSP) occurs at the correct
position, making the tips suitable
for contact scanning.
