Multi-purpose hand-held scanner series with Supercap technology

(See Leuze at MachineBuilding.Live, 15 October 2025, on stand 125)

With supercap, battery-free charging technology the devices are lighter easier to handle and the reading process has been optimised, meaning devices now scan up to 20 percent faster and the contrast tolerance for faint codes is 15 percent higher.

Scanning is also made easier by the integrated green LED aimer with target point and the wide-area white light illumination.

Super lightweight thanks to supercap

The wireless supercap devices in the IT 1960 series weigh just 220 grams with no batteries required. The lightweight multi-purpose hand-held scanners are ideal for single scans: Scan, plug into the charging station, and after a few seconds the hand-held scanner is ready for use again. Another advantage is their long service life. Supercaps can be used for tens of thousands of charging cycles. They are around three to four times more durable than non-rechargeable batteries and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Equipped for every requirement

For maximum flexibility, Leuze also offers multi-purpose hand-held scanners with battery or cable (three or five metres long) in the IT 1960 series. These are ideal for performing numerous scanning processes in a short period of time. The practical base station for the wireless devices with battery or supercap can be attached either to the wall or to the table. For even more convenient use, Leuze has optimised the scanner's housing ergonomics. Scanning is also made easier by the integrated green LED aimer with target point and the wide-area white light illumination.

Data via radio or cable

The hand-held scanners in the IT 1960 series are particularly suitable for reading bar codes in clean, dry environments and at room temperatures between 0degC and 50degC. They comply with protection class IP52 or IP41 depending on the model. The reading range is up to 728 mm. This allows scanning processes to be carried out from a medium distance, for example when scanning larger goods or groups of goods.

Users benefit from the series' wide range of interfaces: From PS/2 to USB and RS232 to Bluetooth, there are many connection options to choose from. The multi-purpose hand-held scanners can be easily configured using parameter codes or the accompanying software.
