Cognex Corporation has announced its next-generation DataMan® handheld industrial ID scanner, the DataMan 8000 Series. The rugged DataMan 8000 Series is designed for the factory floor and offers the industry’s most advanced code reading technology using patented IDMax® technology for reading 1D and 2D codes regardless of size, quality, printing method or surface. The DataMan 8000 Series also offers two new innovations for an industrial handheld code reader: modular communications (including Ethernet) and liquid lens variable focus technology. The series features Cognex superior code reading capabilities with two powerful algorithms, 1DMax™ and 2DMax™, that provide the most advanced decoding available for reading virtually every type of code, every time, with unsurpassed read rates.
