SICK CLV650-0120 Fixed-Mount Barcode Scanner

SICK CLV650-0120 Fixed-Mount Barcode Scanner – Auto-Focus Precision for Industrial Automation

The SICK CLV650-0120 Fixed-Mount Barcode Scanner is a compact and durable device designed to deliver high-speed, accurate barcode reading for demanding industrial tasks. It uses an auto-focus line laser to read 1D barcodes from varying distances up to 1.6 m with reliable precision. Built with a rugged die-cast aluminum housing and rated IP65, it withstands dust and light moisture exposure, ensuring long-term performance. With versatile communication options such as Ethernet, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and CAN interfaces, it connects seamlessly to production and logistics systems to enhance operational flow and reduce scanning errors.

The CLV650-0120 combines fast scanning rates of 600 – 1,000 Hz with adaptive auto-focus, allowing it to capture clear barcode data even on fast-moving or uneven surfaces. Its visible red laser beam simplifies alignment, while smart configuration through SOPAS ET software enables quick setup and flexible integration. Operators gain faster read results, fewer misreads, and reduced downtime during production changeovers. Designed for modern automation environments such as packaging lines, conveyor tracking, and warehousing, this scanner ensures consistent identification accuracy and helps streamline data management across connected devices.

Why SICK CLV650-0120?
Because it combines speed, precision, and flexibility in one compact scanner. The SICK CLV650-0120 automatically adjusts focus to different barcode distances, capturing every label clearly—even on fast-moving items. It’s the go-to choice for industries that demand reliability, smart connectivity, and seamless performance in high-volume operations.

What problem does it solve?
The CLV650-0120 eliminates missed scans and manual barcode checks that slow production lines. It ensures dependable readings under challenging conditions—poor print quality, varying object heights, or rapid conveyor speeds—helping manufacturers, warehouses, and packaging facilities maintain smooth, uninterrupted data tracking and quality control.

The Applications

1. High-Speed Package Sorting on Conveyor Systems

In large-scale distribution centers, hundreds of boxes move rapidly along conveyors with barcodes placed on various surfaces. The SICK CLV650-0120 ensures accurate scanning even when labels are at different heights or partially obscured. Its auto-focus laser automatically adjusts to each package’s position, while the high scanning frequency captures every code in motion. This eliminates manual checks, prevents sorting errors, and keeps throughput consistent in high-demand logistics environments.

2. Automated Pallet Tracking in Warehouse Operations

In industrial warehouses, pallets must be identified and logged at multiple checkpoints. The CLV650-0120 can scan barcodes from long distances, even when mounted on moving forklifts or gantry systems. Its rugged aluminum housing and IP65 protection enable it to operate reliably amid dust, vibration, and changing light conditions. The result is real-time inventory accuracy and traceable pallet movement without interrupting material handling processes.

3. Automotive Part Traceability on Production Lines

Automotive assembly lines require fast and precise tracking of each component as it moves through various stages. The SICK CLV650-0120 provides rapid scanning at up to 1,000 Hz, reading low-contrast or reflective barcodes on metallic or coated surfaces. With advanced decoding algorithms, it maintains performance even when labels are smudged or distorted. This ensures consistent part identification for quality assurance, compliance documentation, and efficient production flow.

4. Barcode Verification in Packaging and Labelling Machines

In packaging environments such as food, beverages, and cosmetics, accurate label verification is critical. The CLV650-0120’s visible red laser easily detects barcodes on curved or reflective surfaces, such as foil wrapping or transparent film. Its SOPAS ET software configuration allows simple setup of acceptance criteria for each product line. By preventing mislabeling and ensuring proper code readability, it supports reliable product traceability and minimizes downtime during format changes.
