Direct Part Marking (DPM) is a process that allows users to imprint a bar code directly on an item instead of printing the code on a paper label. Different technologies are available to directly mark objects: laser / chemical etching, dot peening and ink jet printing. Each of these methods has specific advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, cost and ease of reading.
The PowerScan PM9500-DPM Evo reader is a cordless rugged handheld area imager specifically addressed and capable of reading codes marked with DPM applications.
The PowerScan PM9500-DPM Evo imager is equipped with Datalogic’s STAR Cordless System 2.0, which is available in 433 MHz or 910 MHz. Additionally, it features ‘backwards compatibility’, making it compatible with the current PowerScan STAR radio technology.
The intuitive aiming system allows the highest first-pass reading rate. Additionally, the PowerScan PM9500-DPM Evo area imager uses a soft-pulsed white illumination light resulting in reduced flashes, which is very gentle on users’ eyes.
Datalogic’s Motionix motion-sensing technology detects the natural actions of the operator to automatically switch the scanner into the desired scanning mode.
