Fast for the door, precise for the pass

U26

The U26 is the fast-family 2D imager of the U series — tuned for quick successive reads where the pressure is on: event entries, boarding-support desks and school gates with a minute of rush and a year of calm in between.

Event entry burst with U26 imager clearing the queue at the door
Application · Ticketing gate

The minute after the doors open.

Entry systems are judged inside one minute: doors open, queue at the gate, and every second of a slow read multiplies down the line. The U26 is the fast-family imager that keeps that minute short — successive scans at the quick pace of hand-held pass checkers, with the full 2D set for a ticket stock that mixes paper and phone.

  • Cadence without reset — fast-family tuning supports the read-pause-read rhythm of a hand-held line, which is where most 2D guns show their sluggishness.
  • Phones accepted at the peak — screen QR decodes at counter distance even under the gate's bright daylight, so the queue keeps moving instead of stepping aside.
  • Scaling by lanes, not by project — MOQ 1 pc per lane and one config for all of them; the 2-year warranty matches the season's whole event series.

U26 FAQs

In the line: the fast-family tuning shows in successive reads at rush moments. In the spreadsheet it reads as fewer reprints and shorter queues — but the honest proof is a one-afternoon test at your own door.

Phone screens under direct sun are the hardest case for any imager; U26 handles normal outdoor conditions, and a sample test at your venue's actual light angle settles what to promise the gate crew.

One wired U26 per lane at the door plus a config profile per lane kind; the 48h FAE line wires the gate software on the day of the pilot.
