Fixed-Mount Barcode Readers

Cognex DataMan fixed-mount barcode readers represent a breakthrough in combining unmatched code performance, ease of use and an extremely small size. Advanced technology, processing power and modularity make DataMan readers the ideal solution for challenging manufacturing and logistics applications. The Cognex DataMan series of industrial, image-based barcode reader decodes 1D and 2D codes, from printed labels to the hardest to read direct part mark (DPM) codes, and delivers industry-leading 99.9% read rates.

DataMan 470 Fixed-Mount Barcode Readers

Designed for high-speed, high-throughput manufacturing and logistics lines, the Cognex DataMan 470 is the fastest and most powerful reader in the company’s line of industrial barcode readers.  The High Dynamic Range Plus (HDR+) technology enhances the image quality of 1D and 2D codes, in addition to providing greater coverage and faster speeds than conventional readers. It also reads low contrast and ultra-small codes not visible to other readers, and covers larger inspection areas with fewer cameras, allowing greater process variation and lower facility design costs. It is optimized with patented algorithms to ensure continuously high read rates, regardless of size, quality, printing method, or surface.

DataMan 470 series barcode readers use new, patent-pending imaging technology solve complex, high-throughput manufacturing and logistics applications with ease. DataMan 470’s multi-core processing power, imaging technology, high-resolution sensor, advanced decoding algorithms, and simple setup delivers maximum coverage, speed and ease-of-use. The DataMan 470 has seven powerful processing cores, enabling it to run multiple algorithms and processes in parallel at astonishing speeds. It reads challenging 1-D and 2-D codes in varied locations, as well as multiple mixed symbologies simultaneously while maintaining the highest decode rates.

DataMan 370 with High-Powered Integrated Torch

DataMan 370 series fixed-mount barcode readers solve challenging direct part mark (DPM) and label-based multi-code, multi-symbology applications using Cognex’s latest decoding algorithms, a multi-core processor, and new integrated lighting. With twice the performance and power of conventional readers in the same class, DataMan 370 delivers superior read performance for the broadest range of applications, including high-speed lines, difficult-to-read parts, small codes and multi-sided scan tunnels. These scanners offer faster decode speeds for greater throughput per facility, even when applications have multiple codes and symbologies.

The DataMan 370 acquires single images that are 16 times more detailed than conventional sensors for best-in-class image formation. It globally enhances image quality and contrast, resulting in greater depth-of-field and improved handling of low contrast codes. DataMan 370’s proven modular design shares the same lighting, lens, and communication options as other DataMan readers, providing maximum flexibility and ease-of-use.

A new high-powered integrated torch (HPIT) eliminates the need for external lighting and provides unmatched image formation, ideal for presentation scanning, difficult to read codes, and applications that are challenged by changes in working distances. The HPIT uses 16 LED lights, high-speed liquid lens autofocus technology, and dynamic focusing to automatically set the correct focal point for every application.

DataMan 150/260 Series Fixed-Mount Barcode Readers

For 1D linear barcodes, higher-density 2D matrix codes or direct part mark (DPM) codes, the DataMan 150/260 series fixed-mount, image-based barcode readers deliver unprecedented performance, flexibility and ease-of-use. DataMan 150/260 series fixed-mount barcode readers achieve the highest possible read rates thanks to a high-speed, dual core processing engine that runs the latest Cognex algorithms.

DataMan 150/260 series models offer straight or right-angled configurations to fit into the tightest spaces. In-line and ninety degree configurations eliminate the need for equipment redesign, complicated wiring or optical paths with mirrors. Modular lighting and optics make it easy to change DataMan 150 and 260 series reader lenses and lighting in the field, reducing installation time and protecting the barcode reader investment .

DataMan 70 Series Compact Barcode Readers

DataMan 70 is a compact fixed-mount barcode reader providing the highest read rates for 1D and 2D label-based barcodes. With advanced image formation and a small footprint, DataMan 70 is the ideal solution for indexed or high-speed manufacturing and logistics applications. DataMan 70 is equipped with industry-leading 1DMax with Hotbars and IDQuick barcode reading algorithms that reliably read label-based 1D and 2D barcodes with variations in contrast, blur, damage, resolution, quiet zone violations and perspective distortion.

DataMan 70 is small enough to fit in the tightest spaces, and with IP65 rated housing, it can also handle the harshest environments. An optional communication module provides the flexibility to daisy-chain multiple readers, making cabling fast and easy. Flexible configuration options and powerful LEDs and optics create evenly-illuminated, high contrast images for short or long distance code reading, large depths-of-field, and slow or high-speed applications.
