Brady V4500 Industrial DPM Scanner UK

Laser etched Direct Part Marks (DPM), dot peened steel castings, curved surgical instruments, and oil stained miniature DataMatrix labels defeat ordinary retail barcode guns. Built around a 1.2 megapixel high dynamic range sensor and Code's renowned CortexDecoder algorithms inside an IP65 housing rated for 2.4 m concrete drops, the Brady V4500 reads every mark first time.

MANUFACTURING WIP & DIRECT PART MARKING

Effortless Scanning of Laser Etched Metal, PCB & High Density 2D Codes

In precision engineering, aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing, components carry permanent laser etched or dot peened DataMatrix marks rather than paper stickers. The V4500 eliminates manual serial typing errors across every assembly and inspection bench.

BUILT FOR HARSH UK PACKING & ASSEMBLY LINES

IP65 Washdown Sealing & 2.4 m Drop Protection

Cheaper office scanners crack their windows or fail in dusty timber, metalworking, and food prep benches within months. With IP65 sealing and a 2.4 m drop rating, the Brady V4500 lowers total replacement cost dramatically.
