MS-Q Quadrus™ Handheld Imager NEW

The MS-Q Quadrus™ Imagers are optimised to read bar codes and 2D symbols that use direct part mark (DPM) methods. It is the most aggressive handheld imager available for decoding symbols on low contrast substrates such as metal, plastic, rubber, and glass with marking methods such as dot peen and laser/chemical etch.

Containing custom optics and Microscan's Quadrus decode algorithms, the MS-Q Quadrus combines the power of Microscan's popular smart camera Quadrus EZ™ into a portable handheld device.

Optical Options:
 The high resolution version is custom designed to optimise resolution for

      reading small 2D symbols in direct part mark applications
 The standard resolution version is suitable for reading all printed bar code

      methods plus many applications with direct marked symbols.

Applications:
Automotive, aerospace and the defence industries are actively tracing all parts with bar codes or 2D symbols. The most common practices are to permanently imprint a Data Matrix or bar code symbols directly into the metal component surfaces.

Electronic manufacturers now track virtually all printed circuit boards and most components by small bar codes or Data Matrix symbols, typically marked by laser or etched methods.

Ease of Use:
All MS-Q imagers feature point-and-click targeting with a red laser spot to quickly center the symbol in the field of view. Beeper, vibrator or multi-purpose LEDs provide real-time feedback to signal successful decoding.

System Integration:
All MS-Q imagers are available in 3 configurations options that provide effortless connectivity:

MS-Q Accessories:
 Long-life 1300 mA lithium-Ion battery
 Bluetooth modem (serial gateway) with 328' (100 m) operation range
 Two-bay battery charger
 RS-232 kit
