The Datalogic Blade series is the solid-state successor to the DS2X00 line, a compact industrial 1D reader that swaps the laser for a 1920x128-pixel imager and an integrated lighting system. With no moving parts, there is nothing to wear out, which extends service life on high-throughput traceability lines.

What does solid-state imaging buy on a production line?

An imager captures the whole code at once, so damaged, discoloured, or worn labels that defeat a laser still decode. Because configuration is stored and can be restored over the network or from a microSD card, a failed reader is swapped and running without re-calibrating the line.

• Fix-plug-go mounting with M12 connectors for I/O and network
• Single-port TCP/IP Ethernet plus RS-232, or double-port PROFINET and EtherNet/IP
• Aluminium housing, IP65, 10-30 VDC supply
• Configured with DL.CODE, monitored by WebMonitor and WebSentinel

For OEM, factory, and warehouse automation where a 1D reader must run for years without attention, the Blade series lowers total cost of ownership by eliminating both laser wear and field recalibration.
