Chainway - MC51E incl. UHF Handle

High-performance RFID in a pistol grip - Android 14, 5G and IP67

The Chainway MC51 UHF GUN is supplied as a complete, ready-to-deploy UHF | RAIN - RFID handheld bundle: industrial mobile computer plus snap-on pistol grip in a single order. The kit is aimed at operators in warehousing, logistics, retail, maintenance, asset tracking and the defence sector who need a rugged Auto-ID device with Android 14, 5G connectivity and a high-output UHF engine. The MC51 docks onto existing WMS, ERP and inventory backends and replaces several single-purpose devices with one integrated platform for RFID, barcode and NFC.

The reader engine is built around the Chainway CM710-1 module with Impinj E710 chipset and supports Impinj Gen2X. Combined with the 4.0 dBi circular polarised antenna and 30 dBm transmit power, the device achieves a maximum read range of up to 30 m (Alien H3 Anti-Metal tag) and a sustained read rate of more than 1,300 tags per second. This makes the MC51 UHF GUN well suited to high-density stocktakes in fully loaded warehouses and to fast goods-in posting at busy dock doors.

The RB-C50-UPS pistol grip is included with both bundles and ships with a separate pistol battery. The device base provides 12 contact pins on the rear, allowing the grip to dock securely onto the MC51 without an external cable. Operation is handled via two dedicated scan triggers, a programmable multifunction key and the 6-inch HD touch panel (1,440 x 720) behind Corning Gorilla Glass - usable with gloves or wet hands.
