By combining barcode reading, radio data transmission and a batch functionality, the IT 5620 from Sick (UK) sets new standards in mobile hand-held scanning.
By combining barcode reading, radio data transmission and a batch functionality, the IT 5620 from Sick (UK) sets new standards in mobile hand-held scanning.
It will offer users new levels of freedom in a wide variety of data collection operations.
The device, developed for data detection in commissioning and production processes, offers a long radio range and the reading power of a linear image capture module.
It is also incredibly easy to use thanks to its presentation mode.
Sick - recognising the hostile nature of some environments - has made the IT 5620 extremely robust.
It will survive being dropped from a height of almost 2m onto a concrete floor and it can handle 5g vibrations at a variety of frequencies.
The IT5620 is designed to be used wherever barcodes require mobile detection.
Its imaging module, which will handle poor quality barcodes, offers a reading distance of more than 1m and, with programmable scanning speeds of up to 270 scans per second, readings take place three times faster than with conventional laser scanners.
The device is equipped with a data radio module for transmitting the barcode data.
Its integrated frequency hopping process guarantees secure data transmission.
Transmission can be to a radio data-enabled host or to a basestation; that can communicate with up to seven IT 5620 units.
The basestation, as well as charging the unit, also serves as a mounting for stationary use.
If the IT 5620 is used outside the reception area of the host or basestation, the device automatically switches to batch function.
In this mode, announced by an acoustic signal, it will autonomously store up to 500 12-digit data sets, which are automatically transmitted back to the basestation when the unit re-enters the radio field.
The unit's Li-ion rechargeable battery allows up to 20,000 scans and suffers no "memory effect" if the device is recharged without having been completely drained.
