The Castor is the high-performance food retail bar code scanner and the pearl under the horizontal scanners. Designed from a quality point of view, the Castor comes with a stainless steel top deck to ensure a long lifetime and with a metal housing.
The Castor is well protected against harmful interference from the moving belt’s motor and against electrical static discharge from the operator. With real vertical scan lines, the need to lift and tilt a product being scanned has disappeared and operator fatigue is reduced. Consequently, checkout efficiency increases. The Castor is optimised for EAS integration and is compatible with today’s market solutions.
