U27
The U27 is a 2D imager family variant of the U series — the same imaging engine in a second body position, which is how plants split a rollout between two zones without owning two behaviors.

Two stations, one engine, zero surprises.
Plants run the same process twice in parallel — a line cell and an overflow cell, or a morning and an evening station with different crews. Mixed body types in parallel stations cause mixed behavior, and mixed behavior costs a QC ticket per week. The U27 exists to keep the engine identical while the body varies:
- Same behavior at both ends — the family-variant body shares the decode engine tuning with its siblings on the other station, so a matrix read in the morning cell answers the way the evening cell's does.
- Grip-safe for the load/unload crew — variant geometry fits the hand position common at flow cells: one hand on the tray, one on the gun, no grip compromises.
- Parts per shift, logged — RS232 output and the free SDK keep the traceability ledger continuous across both cells, which is the paperwork an audit secretary will never reject.
U27 FAQs
No — same engine tier; the variant is a second body position so parallel zones behave identically. The duty profile and spec sheet stay the same within the family note.
Yes — the family shares one config profile from the free SDK, which is what keeps a two-cell rollout consistent without field-by-field tuning.
Grip and duty: the U27 variant for load/unload-style stations, the U28 performer for the station running the heaviest scan volumes—the FAE team will split your line by zone in one call.
