Zebra DS4608 Barcode Scanner
The Zebra DS4608 Corded Scanner is purpose built for electronics and light manufacturing.
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY CONTROL IN ELECTRONICS AND LIGHT MANUFACTURING
You rely on barcodes to track components and ensure product quality when manufacturing cell phones, computers, televisions, servers and other products. Your workers need to capture barcodes of all sizes and on all surfaces—instantly and flawlessly. And with the DS4600 Series for Electronics Manufacturing, they can. This versatile device can capture laser etched direct part marks, high density and low contrast codes, in addition to 4-inch wide barcodes. Designed specifically for electronics and light industrial manufacturing operations, the DS4608-DPE is ideal for clean rooms and other dust-free, water-free environments. A wide decode range enables the capture of direct part marks and high density barcodes, nearer and farther than a general purpose scanner—giving your workers true point-and-shoot simplicity. And our unique DataCapture DNA and industry-preferred management tools make it easier than ever to integrate, deploy and manage your imagers. The DS4600 Series for Electronics Manufacturing—purpose-built innovation for your electronics and light manufacturing production line.
And the same imager can read 4-inch wide barcodes found on picklists, carton labels and packages, delivering outstanding value—you can use the same device for multiple applications throughout your operations.
Count on great performance to keep your production line moving
What makes the DS4608-DPE unique? Its patented rear engine design creates more room for a built-in diffuser—providing optimal illumination on a wide variety of surfaces. Indirect lighting enables the capture of marks printed on shiny and reflective surfaces, while direct light provides the bright light needed to successfully read low contrast barcodes and laser-etched marks. And the 800 MHz microprocessor, megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology further improve performance on challenging barcodes. The result? High-confidence scanning for fewer exceptions and workflow disruptions.
Capturing high density barcodes is easier than ever
Direct part marks and high density barcodes can be tough to scan, but not with the DS4608-DPE. This intuitive imager has the widest decode range in its class—enabling workers to position it at a more natural distance to see the barcode they are scanning. The result is point and shoot simplicity for some of the most challenging barcodes.
Capture it all—from direct part marks to extra-wide barcodes
No matter what type of marks and barcodes are found in your manufacturing operations, you can capture them all with the DS4608-DPE. It easily reads the tiny and dense laser etched DPM codes on plastic and metal subcomponents, as well as ink mark, chemical etch, inkjet mold and thermal spray.
