DataMan 8050 series readers are equipped with Cognex’s world-class barcode reading algorithms and designed to withstand harsh factory floor conditions. The best in class algorithms decode even challenging barcodes quickly and easily including Direct Part Mark (DPM) codes. And, the flexible modular design ensures the DataMan 8050 series readers are ready to meet ever changing communication needs.

Modular Communications for Maximum Flexibility

The DataMan 8050 series of industrial barcode readers feature field interchangeable communication modules and enable one reader to be configured to meet specific communication needs to support corded RS-232, USB, and Ethernet options, as well as cordless options including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Rugged Industrial Design

The DataMan 8050 series barcode readers are constructed to handle the harshest environments. Industrial features include: lanyard hook for easy retractor mounting, bright centralized aimer for clear targeting, loud beeper and indicator lights provide operator feedback.

DataMan 8600 series image-based ID readers provide the world’s most advanced barcode reading technology for decoding Direct Part Mark (DPM), 2-D and 1-D codes of varying sizes, quality and marking or printing methods. These handheld DPM barcode readers are designed for the harshest factory floor environments.

2-D Code Reading Technology

DataMan 8600 technology includes the most robust and advanced Cognex 2-D algorithms to handle 2-D codes of the widest variety of damage, distortion, perspective, low contrast and obstruction as well as small DPM codes.

1DMax+ Technology with Hotbars

Cognex 1DMax+ algorithm with Hotbars image-analysis technology gives DataMan 8600 barcode readers unprecedented performance on damaged or difficult-to-read codes.

Exclusive Modular Industrial Communications

Equipped with Ethernet communication and industrial protocols, the DataMan 8600 series easily integrates with industrial automation equipment, making installation and maintenance fast and efficient. Additional standards communication options include corded RS-232, USB, and Ethernet options, as well as cordless options including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Equipped with field interchangeable communication modules, one reader can be configured to meet specific and ever changing communication needs.

Extremely Advanced Handheld Imaging System

For superior image formation on the most mark types and surfaces, the DataMan 8600 series features an improved, patented UltraLight®, faster image sensor along with a new liquid lens offering a larger depth-of-field. UltraLight illumination provides dark field, bright field and diffuse lighting all in one electronically controlled light. These technical advances enable the DataMan 8600 series readers to image barcodes faster and easier on the widest range of surfaces and at distances both near and far.
