Description
The Datalogic PowerScan PM9501 DPM Evo is a top-tier rugged industrial 2D barcode scanner built for Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications in challenging environments. Featuring 433 MHz narrowband STAR Cordless System™ radio communication, this device ensures reliable and interference-free data transmission without relying on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Optimised for the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries, the PM9501 effortlessly reads laser-etched, dot-peened, and ink-marked codes directly from metal, plastic, or other textured surfaces. Its robust build quality includes IP65 sealing, resistance to multiple 2.0m drops, and functionality in extreme temperatures.
A removable lithium-ion battery powers over 30,000 scans per charge, with rapid 3-second replacements to maintain uninterrupted productivity. The PM9501 also integrates Datalogic’s 3GL™ feedback system, Motionix™ motion detection, and soft white LED illumination for comfort and performance.
