The DS3400 Series Rugged Scanner
The DS3400 Series industrial bar-code scanners from Symbol Technologies use digital imaging technology to accurately capture all types of two-dimensional (2D) and one-dimensional (1D) bar codes while offering the high performance typically found only in laser scanners. For capturing images and bar codes, the DS3408 is ideal. But if image capture and transfer capability is what you need, the DS3407 is perfect for today’s applications, such as digital document storage and processing, as well as for image capture applications of the future. With the DS3400 Series, you benefit from a scanning solution designed specifically for fast-paced production environments. The DS3407 and DS3408 come equipped with charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors, which allow them to more accurately capture and process bar codes at a faster pace than other digital scanners. In addition, the scanners’ omni-directional scanning functionality lets operators quickly capture bar codes from any angle, eliminating the need to line up bar codes with laser lines. The DS3400 Series has the widest working range of any scanner in its class. Its two-position smart focus technology, unique to Symbol, allows you to read bar codes regardless of the size or density of the code. This means that this single device can work well for all your scanning needs.
The DS3400 Series provides resilience and performance in a ruggedized package. The scanners’ exit windows are scratchresistant and recessed for a high level of durability, while their rugged housing, sealed to industry-leading IP65 standards against rain and dust, is designed to withstand repeated drops of up to six-and-a-half feet (two meters) onto concrete. In fact, the DS3407 and DS3408 maintained their reliability when subjected to drops in a specialized tumble test conducted in the widely recognized Symbol Industrial Design Labs. Their design virtually eliminates the chances of downtime occurring as a result of damage from being dropped. Please contact an Applications Engineer for an evaluation of your project.
