DS4600A

The new Datalogic DS4600A fixed position barcode scanner is an industrial fixed positioned bar code reader designed for the manufacturing industry. The DS4600A features an ACR™ (Advanced Code Reconstruction) decoder that can decode barcodes presented at a tilted angle where the scan line does not completely bisect the barcode.

ACR™ technology based on a powerful DSP which performs real time bar code image reconstruction and decoding, enabling non-oriented labels placed in various positions on objects to be read. The great benefit provided by ACR™ technology on the DS4600A is that the barcode positioning tolerance is increased and it is easier to position the scanner.

As a result of new optics, based on a diffractive lens, and an improved focusing system, the DS4600A provides great reading performance in challenging situations in which thermal transfer or low contrast barcodes are used. One of the scanner versions with a new optic platform makes it possible to read high resolution barcodes (0.2mm/8 mils).

The reading characteristics, ease of use and flexibility of the DS4600A make this scanner suitable for a wide range of applications in the manufacturing industry, including conveyor sorting, zone routing or pick and pass, shop floor, data collection, print and apply barcode label confirmation and WIP tracking.
