Rugged barcode scanner for demanding applications with high battery capacity, versatile connectivity and long reading distance.
WEROCK Technologies GmbH, an innovative manufacturer of rugged barcode scanners, mobile data collection devices and rugged tablet PCs, is expanding its product portfolio to include the new Rockscan PX3000 handheld scanner. It was designed for use in harsh environments and offers a robust housing design with all-round protection according to protection class IP68, high drop protection, a large reading distance of up to 29 meters and long battery life.
The Rockscan PX3000 series of ultra-rugged barcode scanners is designed to capture data in any situation and without delay. The ultra-rugged housing is designed for use in harsh industrial environments and is IP68 water and dust resistant. In addition, the scanner can withstand falls from a height of up to 2.5 meters and meets the requirements of the MIL-STD-810H standard. It is also designed for extreme temperatures from -25°C to +55°C. Nevertheless, the housing remains very light at around 300g.
The Rockscan PX3000 offers a suitable solution for every application scenario: the hand-held scanner is available in different variants, with and without a cable. For large warehouses and production environments, the wireless scanner version with 433 MHz technology offers an excellent range of over 50 m (up to 400 m laboratory range) and thus a reliable connection. Three high-end scan engine options are available that capture 1D and 2D barcodes: Standard Range, DPM (Direct Part Marking) and Extended Range. While Standard Range covers all common scanning operations, DPM is specially designed for small and high-resolution barcodes that are directly engraved on materials or products. For applications that require a longer range, Extended Range offers a scanning distance of theoretically up to 29 meters and is suitable for long scanning distances in large warehouses.
Special attention was paid to battery life during development. To meet the demands of high-volume scanning and shift work, the new barcode scanner has an industry-leading 4,500 mAh battery – enough for up to 25,000 scans per charge. The battery itself can be replaced by the user without tools.

“The Rockscan PX3000 barcode scanner is the new ultra-rugged solution for logistics and production. With a drop resistance of 2.5m and IP68 protection, the hand-held scanner is equipped with maximum robustness for these harsh environments. The scan engine options promise uncompromising performance, while the radio variants also take into account the corresponding situations in the warehouse. With the industry-leading rechargeable battery, the scanner offers an exceptionally long battery life,” says Markus Nicoleit, managing director of WEROCK. ‘We are sure that we can offer our customers a very attractive alternative to the established models in the segment,’ Nicoleit continues.
WEROCK offers a two-year warranty on its devices, which can be optionally extended and expanded.
The Rockscan PX3000 is now available through direct sales and from participating system partners. Further information about the barcode scanner and other WEROCK products can be found at https://www.werocktools.com/mobile-data-collection/barcode-scanner/rockscan-px3000/
As with all of the company’s products, the CO2e footprint that inevitably arises during production and transport of the Rockscan PX3000 is fully offset by climate protection projects that meet the Gold Standard.
