New! Congnex Dataman 8000 Series Reader
Cognex® DataMan® 8000 readers set the new performance standard when it comes to
industrial code reading. These newly designed readers build on the capabilities
of the existing highly successful DataMan handheld readers, which have been the
benchmark for industrial direct part mark (DPM) code reading performance since
their release. The DataMan 8000 Series introduces several firsts to industrial
handheld reader capabilities, including:
- Liquid Lens Technology = Automatic Variable Focus
- Superior Code Reading Advacements
- Ethernet
- Modular Communications
Liquid Lens Technology = Automatic Variable
Focus
The DataMan 8000 Series is the first industrial handheld reader to offer
integrated liquid lens technology. The adjustable focus of the liquid lens gives
the maximum depth of field flexibility for an image-based handheld reader. The
liquid lens uses two iso-density liquids—oil is an insulator while water is a
conductor. The variation of voltage leads to a change of curvature of the
liquid-liquid interface, which in turn results in a change of the focal length
of the lens. This proven new technology, already integrated into Cognex
fixed-mount readers, enables the 8000 series readers to autofocus at high speed
to read DPM marks close up, or long barcodes from a distance. Relative to other
autofocus mechanisms, the liquid lens has extremely fast response times and is
exceptionally durable with no moving parts.
Superior Code Reading Advancement
The DataMan 8000 Series is powered by Cognex patented IDMax® technology and two
powerful algorithms, 1DMax™ and 2DMax™, that provide the most advanced decoding
available for reading virtually every type of code, every time, with unsurpassed
read rates.
For 1D barcodes, 1DMax is our best-in-class reading tool optimized for
omnidirectional barcode reading that can handle extreme variations. And, for 2D
codes, 2DMax technology from Cognex set the industry standard for the most
challenging Data Matrix DPM applications.
