The SIMATIC MV340 is one of the most powerful handheld readers in the world and is thus particularly suitable for demanding applications. The reader reads a wide range of direct part markings (DPM), from linear barcodes all the way to 2D symbols. Different codes can be read without having to reconfigure the device.

The optical MV340 handheld reader is designed for close ranges and records codes at a distance of up to 50 mm. The optimum reading distance is 6 mm. The special integrated lighting is ideal for a wide variety of surfaces and increases the contrast with stamped codes. Low-contrast reading despite fluctuating lighting conditions and twisted or damaged codes are the strengths of the SIMATIC MV340.

The SIMATIC MV340 handheld reader is connected via a USB or RS232 interface to the IT system or HMI device.
