Cognex DataMan is designed for 1-D barcode and 2-D matrix code reading. Available liquid lens optics allows any DataMan 300 reader to be easily upgraded from fixed focus to autofocus. Liquid lens variable autofocus technology is ideal for applications that require a large depth of field or when refocusing is needed after a product changeover. The DataMan 300 intelligent tuning feature automatically selects the optimum settings for the integrated, bank-controlled lighting and for the autofocus optics for each application to make working distance adjustments as easy a pushing a button. DataMan 300 is available in two models. The DataMan 300 has a resolution of 800x600 pixels and the DataMan 302 has a higher resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. The DataMan 302 is ideal for reading very small DPM codes, often found in applications in the automotive and electronics industries. 1DMax+ uses patent-pending Hotbars technology that can locate and extract code data quickly and accurately. The 2DMax+ algorithm provides superior reading performance on damaged and poorly-marked 2-D codes on both stationary and high speed lines.
