Cognex DataMan 300 series code reader

The Cognex DataMan 300 series of readers was developed to handle the difficult-to-read DPM (Direct Part Mark) codes as well as provide high read rates for challenging 1-D barcodes and 2-D data matrix codes.

The 1DMax+ with Hotbars technology provides high read rates of damaged 1-D linear barcodes. The controllable, field-interchangeable lighting modules allow users to create good lighting for achieving high read rates. Intelligent tuning automatically adjusts the settings of the integrated lighting to find the optimal light set-up for the part.

Additional features and benefits include: enhanced 1DMax+ and 2DMax+ code-reading algorithms for reading the most challenging 1-D and 2-D codes; flexible lens options - C-mount lens, S-mount or a variable focus liquid lens to provide maximum depth of field flexibility; and Cognex Connect communications suite supports industrial protocols as well as RS232 connectivity for integration into legacy systems.

The series is available in two base models: the DataMan 300 (800x600 pixels); and the DataMan 302 (1280x1024 pixels) which is suitable for reading small DPM codes in a large field of view or on small components.
