The DataMan® 300 series of readers was developed to handle the most difficult-to-read DPM (Direct Part Mark) codes as well as challenging 1-D linear barcodes and 2-D Data Matrix codes and for indexed or high-speed lines.

Unmatched read rate performance :

•  Decode the most challenging 1-D and 2-D barcodes with enhanced 1DMax+™ and 2DMax+™ code-reading algorithms
• 2DMax+™ algorithm reads DPM codes no matter the mark type or surface
•  1DMax+ with Hotbars™ technology provides higher read rates of damaged 1-D linear barcodes at a faster pace than ever before

Flexible lighting and optics :

• Controllable, field interchangeable red lighting module allows you to create the best possible lighting for your part, ensuring the highest read rates of DPM codes
• The blue lighting module creates optimal lighting for PV solar wafer code reading
• Flexible lens options—C-Mount lens, S-Mount or a variable focus liquid lens to provide maximum depth of field flexibility

 
Ease of deployment :

•     Intelligent tuning automatically adjusts the settings of the integrated lighting to find the optimal light setup for the part.
•     Cognex Connect™ communications suite supports industrial protocols.
•     Also supports RS-232 for integration into legacy systems.

DataMan 300 series is available in two base models :

The DataMan 300 provides standard resolution of 800x600 pixels and the DataMan 302 is the high resolution model (1280x1024). The DataMan 302 is ideal for situations where a very small code is needed to be found within a very large field of view.
