Maximum Efficiency, Minimum Effort: Discover our new generation of Handheld Scanners

Balluff handheld code readers quickly and reliably read all common 1D, 2D and stacked barcodes on documents and directly on items. The handheld code readers are used in many applications: in the control of replenishment processes (kanban systems), production control, optical tool identification, component tracking, quality control and inventory (control of kanban systems), among others.

For industrial use – robust PowerScan handheld barcode readers

The PowerScan handheld reader reads all common 1D, 2D and stacked barcodes quickly and reliably. The HDW version reliably captures both high-resolution codes (up to 2.5 mm for 1D) and large areas (up to A4), while the DPW version can reliably read up to 80 % of all directly marked codes. The reader offers an industry-standard IP65 (IP67) protection rating and can withstand multiple drops of up to 2 m onto concrete. This ensures reliable use in industry, logistics and warehousing. The wireless versions with Bluetooth give users maximum freedom of movement, as secure data transmission is possible in an area of up to 100 m around the base station.

The reader is intuitive and easy to use: simply point the reader at the code and trigger it. If the code is successfully read, this is indicated by an acoustic signal, a green LED on the reader and an LED spot that is projected onto the read code. The ergonomic shape and maximum weight of 200 g enable fatigue-free, hand-friendly operation. The wireless variants give users maximum freedom of movement, as secure data transmission is possible in an area of up to 100 m around the base station.

For warehouses and logistics – low-cost QuickScan handheld barcode readers

The optimized and affordable QuickScan handheld barcode readers read all common 1D, 2D and stacked barcodes, as well as postal codes, in any orientation (up to 40° tilt) and on the fly. They can also read under difficult conditions, such as from displays and reflective surfaces. They are suitable for reading codes on documents or code labels and offer good reading performance at an affordable price. Their maximum reading range is 40 cm.
