Frequently Asked Questions
What is Direct Part Marking (DPM) and why does the PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo excel at reading it?
Direct Part Marking (DPM) refers to codes marked directly onto components using laser etching, chemical etching, or ink jet printing—common in manufacturing environments where labels aren't practical. The PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo is specifically engineered with advanced optics and Datalogic's latest decoding software to reliably read these challenging DPM codes on metal parts, components, and sub-assemblies. Its area imager technology captures high-resolution images that decode even poorly marked or worn codes, making it ideal for quality control and component tracking on the shop floor.
Is the Datalogic PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo durable enough for manufacturing environments?
Yes, the PD9501-DPM Evo is built for rugged industrial use with an IP65 rating for particulate and water sealing, and it withstands 50 drops from 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) onto concrete. It operates reliably in harsh conditions with ambient light tolerance up to 100,000 lux and temperature ranges from -20 to 50°C (-4 to 122°F), making it suitable for all-day usage on manufacturing shop floors, work-in-progress areas, and quality control stations.
What barcode types can the PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo read?
The PD9501-DPM Evo reads all standard 1D linear codes (including GS1 DataBar), 2D codes (Data Matrix, QR Code, Micro QR Code, Aztec Code, China Han Xin Code, MaxiCode), stacked codes (PDF417, GS1 DataBar Composites), and postal codes. Its omnidirectional reading capability means codes can be scanned from any angle, and it can read from contact distance up to over 1.0 meter depending on barcode resolution.
What connectivity options does the PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo offer?
The PD9501-DPM Evo features the Datalogic STAR Cordless System with configurable radio frequencies at 433 MHz or 910 MHz, supporting both point-to-point and multi-point configurations with up to 16 readers per radio receiver. It also offers wired connectivity through RS-232, USB, and Keyboard Wedge multi-interface options, giving you flexibility to integrate with existing warehouse management and manufacturing systems. Contact us today to discuss which connectivity option best fits your operation.
Does the PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo have image capture capabilities?
Yes, the PD9501-DPM Evo includes image capture functionality with a 1280 x 1027 high-resolution CMOS imager sensor that can save images in JPEG and TIFF formats. This capability is valuable for quality documentation, compliance verification, and capturing visual data alongside barcode reads in manufacturing and quality control workflows.
How does the eye-friendly design of the PowerScan PD9501-DPM Evo benefit operators during long shifts?
The PD9501-DPM Evo emits a soft pulse with reduced flash illumination light, making it gentler on the eyes during extended use—a critical feature for warehouse and manufacturing operators working all-day shifts. Combined with its ergonomic shape and omnidirectional reading capability, the scanner minimizes operator fatigue and eye strain while maintaining fast, reliable scanning performance.
