DataMan 100 ID Readers

TekSis supplies Cognex’s DataMan 100, the world’s smallest high-performance ID reader. Cognex’s DataMan 100 fixed mount ID readers achieve an incredibly high performance level - six sigma read rates at up to 45 codes per second. These readers provide 1D and 2D code reading with models that read even the most challenging direct part marks, and to ensure that codes meet industry quality standards, the DataMan 100 family includes code verifiers.

DataMan ID readers are optimised to ensure continuously high read rates of 1D and 2D symbologies in direct part mark and label-based identification applications, on the fastest production lines. This allows DataMan readers to deliver the industry’s most reliable code reading. Models are available for all fixed mount code reading applications.

The Power of IDMax® software results in breakthrough data matrix code reading based on patented Cognex PatMax technology. IDMax handles a wide range of degradations to code appearance that result from dramatic degradations in DPM code quality due to differences in material types and surfaces. IDMax is available with the DataMan 100X model.

The speed of IDQuick software allows fast, high-performance reading of high-quality 1D and 2D codes, as well as low contrast codes on uniform backgrounds. The DataMan 100S, 100Q, and 100X models incorporate the IDQuick decoding software.

DataMan 100 readers are ideal for item identification and process control in many industries. And, the size of the DataMan 100 — typically 90 percent smaller than other integrated readers in its performance class — allows it to be used in applications where space is limited. This is of particular value in systems such as label printers, clinical analysers, marking equipment, and document handlers.

DataMan 100 ID readers are available in three models:

• DataMan 100S - ideal for slow moving parts or indexed motion
• DataMan 100Q - fast, high performance code reading
• DataMan 100X - all model 100Q features, plus IDMax for reading difficult codes
