Robust hand-held scanner for harsh conditions / hand-held scanner for reliable identification of barcodes and stacked codes with differing resolutions

With cable, Bluetooth, or WLAN
Featuring an IP 65 enclosure rating and safe functioning even after being dropped 50 times, the IDM160 hand-held scanner convinces users with a maximum degree of ruggedness. The attributes that provide for special user friendliness include, among others, a powerful scan engine as well as triple read feedback.

Hand-held scanners of the IDM160 product family are the solution for sophisticated operating conditions in industrial settings. They permit reliable identification of barcodes and stacked codes with differing resolutions even at longer scanning distances of up to 800 mm. The industry-compatible, rugged housing design guarantees utmost availability even in case of severe loads known to occur in intralogistical processes. In addition, suitable connectivity elements are available for Fieldbus integration.

High degree of user friendliness
A number of features ensure that users like picking up the IDM160. They include uncomplicated alignment and scanning even at greater distances, fast scanning with subsequent triple read feedback via beeper, LED, and vibration, long operating time without recharging, as well as toolfree battery replacement. The hand-held scanner is held fast to the charging station by magnets – thus keeping it firmly in place even in case of vibrations in the environment.

Mobile with and without cable
The IDM160 offer every user the appropriate mobility and freedom to maneuver, as the hand-held scanners are available not only as a cable or Bluetooth variant but also featuring WLAN in accordance with IEEE 802.11 b/g. The special advantage is the roaming function of the WLAN variant: The operator is able to move completely freely. When changing from one WLAN reception range to the next, he or she notices this as little as with a cell phone – since the connection is maintained at all times.

IDM140-2 now available as a WLAN variant as well
From now on, among the user-friendly hand-held IDM140-2 scanners, there is also available a variant with WLAN in accordance with IEEE 802.11 b/g. Thus, SICK offers another roaming solution for complete freedom of movement in mobile barcode scanning.
