The CLX 490 is the most compact, industrial omni directional scanner on the market. It incorporates Automatic Focus Control, SMART Technology, a high scan rate and package tracking into one unit.

The CLX 490's SMART (SICK's Modular Advanced Recognition Technology) enables the scanner to read bar codes that can not be read by other scanners. The CLX 490 processes the complete bar code images before decoding. This translates to a much higher percentage of successful reads, even with bar codes presented at high tilt angles or partially damaged bar codes. The CLX 490 also allows small object spacing through its integrated tracking function.

The CLX 490 has real-time, patented Automatic Focus Control; the scanner automatically focuses according to the distance to the object. No additional components are necessary to detect the object distance.

The settings of the CLX 490 are stored in the optional cloning module for quick replacement if necessary. Optional internal heating is also available. The CLX 490 is ideal for conveyor widths up to 16 inches (400 mm) and conveyor speeds up to 590 feet per minute (180m/min).
