Optical mark readers / OMR
Enter and sort formatted documents
Optical mark recognition is the fastest and most reliable method of recording and digitally preparing those volumes of data that are present as marks on paper-based, formatted documents and forms.
Marks are crosses, bars or bubbles made by pencils or ballpoint pens at precisely defined positions on the document intended for that purpose.
Optical mark readers check only these defined document positions and recognize any marks that are present on the basis of reduced light reflection. The marking coordinates are transmitted to a PC. The interpretation of the marking coordinates is effected completely or partially by means of application software.
Optical mark recognition presupposes specifically formatted data carriers (documents) that are precisely adapted to the respective application. As opposed to scanning, in optomechanical mark recognition no digital image is produced.
Optical mark readers / OMR basic models
Six high-performance basic models perform your document capture out-of-the-box. Or they form the basis of your customized OMR special development.
Our OMR and AXIOME series optical mark readers are powerful out-of-the-box solutions for a wide range of document capture applications, especially betting slip capture, vote counting, log capture, and multiple choice and exam scoring. With numerous optional features and enhancements, they can be easily upgraded for infrequent and highly specialized requirement profiles. If this is not enough, they become the basis for completely independent new developments, which we either develop and manufacture exclusively for you, or incorporate into our product portfolio after consultation.
OMR 19E
Optical mark reader with manual document feed
This versatile optical mark reader is an international classic, especially for recording betting slips. It is used as a counter device in thousands of betting shops worldwide. However, users from other industries also appreciate the high detection and operational reliability of the OMR 19E: widespread applications include the capture of voting cards, survey questionnaires and multiple choice tests.
The OMR 19E is a versatile optical mark reader for documents ranging in size from 65 x 30 mm to 220 x 108 mm. Receipts, forms and documents are fed one at a time by hand. The intelligent design of the OMR 19E enables fast and completely tool-free cleaning. Possible marking pitches of the OMR 19E are 1/4″, 1/5″ and 1/6″. Depending on the track spacing, between 12 and 20 reading tracks are possible. Optionally, the OMR 19E is equipped with two barcode reading heads for automatic barcode detection. The OMR 19E can be expanded with numerous features, which opens up a particularly wide range of applications for it.
OMR 50E
Compact optical mark reader with manual document feeder
This user-friendly optical mark reader with manual document feed captures voice cards, medical protocols, survey sheets and multiple choice documents quickly and reliably. It is used primarily in medical facilities such as clinics, hospitals and laboratories, but also in educational institutions such as universities, colleges or testing centers.
The OMR 50E is a compact optical mark reader with manual document feed and automatic paper transport, and is ideally suited for automatic and keyboard-free transfer of data to the computer. The OMR 50E is designed to be extremely user-friendly and can be cleaned and serviced without tools. Its compact structure permits the inclination of the device in ergonomically slanted desktop form so that documents are visible “true-sided” both during reading in as well as in the output tray. Possible marking grids of the OMR 50E are 1/4″, 1/5″ or 1/6″. Depending on the track spacing, between 12 and 48 reading tracks are possible. Optionally, the OMR 50E is equipped with two barcode reading heads for automatic barcode reading.
