The new DS6500 is a high performance compact scanner, which addresses AutoID needs in Transportation and Logistics applications.

The DS6500 is based on the same concept of the DS6300 and DS6400: a complete and modular solution in terms of reading performance, connectivity, ease of use and maintenance. The innovative mechanical design, with the scanner separated in two parts, the reading head and decoder base makes it possible to always install the scanner in the ideal position, by simply rotating the Head / Base position ("Step-A Head").

The DS6500 inherits ASTRA™ technology from the DS8100, making it possible to electronically switch the laser diodes, depending on the distance from the barcode. The real time DOF offered by the DS6500 covers a wide set of applications, from stand-alone to multisided tunnels on conveyors.

The DS6500 is offered both in linear and integrated Oscillating Mirror versions, which are fully SW controlled. The practical display with keyboard increases the scanner's ease of use and offers a simple human interface without the need of a PC.

The DS6500 shares the same decoder base with the DS6300 and DS6400, with built-in connectivity to Ethernet, Devicenet and Profibus. With the GENIUS™ program, it's easy to setup the scanner and to perform functions such as remote control and SW updates on any slave scanner of the cluster by simply connecting the Master.
