Datalogic renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the Dragon™ family: Dragon™ Desk and Dragon™ Mobile. Based on the same rugged and reliable mechanics of the well-established DLL6000 series, they have been completely renewed inside. Robustness and ergonomics, the main driver of our original project, remain unsurpassed: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs for areas where noise levels are normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to the right code, has now been extended to the whole Dragon™ family. Optical parts are completely suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body materials, such as the co-molded rubber, protect the Dragon™ from damage due to "falls".

New enhanced architecture, based on a M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables exceptional performance for promptness and reading speed of standard codes as well as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Puzzle Solver Technology™, a patent from Datalogic, adds further strength to the Dragon™ powerful engine. In all applications where mobility is a value, the new Dragon™ M represents the key to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area. Dragon™ M communicates through a low power, license free radio in the 433 MHz band (910 MHz for USA version) and allows bi-directional communication between the base station and the host.

Dragon™ M also includes a display and a 3 push-button keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator can receive information from the host, actively interact with the central system and visualize the code read. The cordless system offers scalable solutions to solve simple applications and complex projects.

The new Dragon™ D151XLR offers superior performance from 10 cm (EAN) to 10 m (100 mil reflective codes) to maximum reading distance, providing at the same time full connectivity to the Rhino forklift terminal (via RS232).
