Compact Barcode Reader



Cognex Corporation, supplier of industrial barcode readers and machine vision, has announced the addition of the DataMan 70 series to its line of compact fixed-mount barcode readers. DataMan 70 delivers high read rates for 1-D and 2-D label-based barcodes in a form factor small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand.

"Cognex's DataMan 70 series offers manufacturing and logistics companies higher performance than single-line and raster laser scanners, at an equivalent cost," said a company spokesperson. Its flexible configuration options and small size also make it ideal for mounting in tight spaces on production lines and in machinery.

Carl Gerst, Cognex Senior Vice President, ID Products, said, "The new DataMan 70 offers more advanced image formation to read even damaged or distorted label-based codes, and it is designed with no moving parts, meaning it will not require maintenance."

"DataMan 70 is optimized with industry-leading barcode reading algorithms and individually controlled LEDs to ensure continuously high read rates," said a company spokesperson. "Measuring just 22.2 mm x 35.8 mm x 42.4 mm, it is ultra-compact, yet powerful enough to perform the most challenging label-based barcode reading applications."
