Cognex Dataman 200D

Cognex Sensors India is a subsidiary of Cognex Corporation, USA, which specialises in the development and manufacture of vision systems, vision software, vision sensors and surface inspection systems used in manufacturing automation. The company offers Dataman 200 image-based reader, which is claimed to be the first to feature full Ethernet connectivity in a package the size of a matchbox. It is also the first to offer liquid lens technology, which makes it ideal for applications that have variable focus requirements. The Ethernet connectivity gives DataMan 200 users the advantage of real-time data and image transfer, and easier integration with plant controllers and information networks. The Dataman 200 features liquid lens technology as an option. It provides greater focal range, ease of setup, and faster response time, apart from adjusting the camera’s focus by applying an electrical charge to fluid within the lens. With liquid lens technology, autofocus is achieved with a single software command. The lens also provides exceptional depth of field and field of view range, and, because it has no moving parts to malfunction or break down with use, the system is extremely rugged and resistant to shock, vibration and wear. Setup is simplified with the use of two laser aimers. The laser targets are easily seen through the entire depth of field, enabling operators to quickly position the code to the reader. Like the DataMan 100, the new system features an easy-to-use interface for setting up the application, and supports a wide range of 1D and 2D codes including UPC/EAN/JAN, Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, QR Code, and micro QR Code.
