For decoding 1D linear barcodes, high-density 2D matrix codes, or direct mark (DPM) codes, the Cognex DataMan 150/260 series fixed-mount, image-based barcode readers offer exceptional performance, flexibility, and user-friendliness. With straight or right-angled configurations, these models easily fit into tight spaces. The in-line and ninety-degree setups remove the necessity for equipment redesign and complex wiring or optical paths with mirrors.
Cognex Dataman 150/260 Series Fixed-Mount Barcode Readers
FEATURES
- The DataMan 150/260 series barcode readers are powerful and fast, thanks to their dual-core processing engine and advanced Cognex algorithms. They can read damaged or poorly printed 1D and 2D codes easily.
- These readers come in straight or right-angled designs to fit tight spaces without needing equipment changes. The configurations simplify wiring and eliminate the need for mirrors.
- They have modular lighting and optics, making it easy to change lenses and lighting in the field. This reduces installation time and allows optimization for different applications.
- You can upgrade to the DataMan 150/260 series from the older 100/200 series without changing mounting holes or wiring. The same standoff distance ensures the field of view remains unchanged.
TECHNOLOGIES
- 1DMax code reading algorithm with Hotbars II image-analysis technology provides higher read rates of 1D linear barcodes, even those with damage, at a faster pace than ever before.
- 2DMax and patent-pending PowerGrid for decoding severely damaged or poorly marked 2D matrix codes. Overcomes variations in lighting, marking method, code quality, or surface finish.
APPLICATIONS
The DataMan 150/260 fixed-mount barcode readers can be used for multiple 1D and 2D applications in factory automation. Common barcode reading applications include:
- 1D- Read 1D barcodes on products that are stopped, slow moving, or presented by hand to the barcode reader.
- 1D- Read fast moving 1D barcodes, including those on ultra-fast beverage or food production lines.
- 2D- Read challenging direct part marked (DPM) codes on virtually any surface (glass, metal, ceramic, plastic).
- 2D- Read moving or printed 2D codes on labels.
