Cognex Corporation releases the DataMan 150, 260 and 360 series fixed-mount, image-based, identification readers.
Product features include:
– 1DMax with Hotbars2 technology for high-speed reading of damaged or poorly printed one dimensional barcodes;
– 2DMax and patent-pending PowerGrid technology to read challenging two dimensional (2D) codes, including previously unreadable 2D codes without visible perimeters;
– Field exchangeable lighting and optics that readily adapt to changing factory conditions and application requirements;
– Auto-tune and trigger buttons to set up and use the readers easily without a PC.
The serial USB-based DataMan 150 series and Ethernet-based 260 series models offer straight or right-angled configurations to fit into the tightest spaces.
This flexible design does not need equipment redesign or complicated optical paths with mirrors.
DataMan 360 series enhancements include a light-ring that provides 360 degree visual read indicator and a Micro SD card for system-level backup and convenient unit restoration or replacement.
The series also offers triple the memory of its predecessor, the DataMan 300, allowing for improved image buffering and increased image storage.
These new models are IP-65 rated for harsh environments typically encountered in the automotive, consumer electronics, document handling, food and beverage, and logistics industries.
