Cognex Corporation demonstrate the DataMan 500 fixed-mount barcode reader which offers consistent, reliable reading of 1D barcodes that lasers cannot read, including damaged, distorted, blurred, scratched, low height and low contrast codes. It also reads codes presented in any orientation, multiple codes within the same image, and 2D codes such as Data Matrix and QR codes. With no moving parts to wear out, the reader also offers exceptional reliability, lower maintenance and longer product life. The high-performance reader is powered by a proprietary vision chip technology, VSoC (Vision System on a Chip), providing unmatched barcode reading and ease of use not found in other image-based or laser systems available today. Lighting, camera, processor, and com- munications are all integrated into an exceptionally small industrial housing, making the fixed-mount readers ideal for the most demanding applications at one reasonable price. Additionally, trigger-free reading and ultra high frame rates eliminate the need for an external trigger, reducing overall setup cost and deployment time.
