Cognex Sensors India Pvt Ltd has launched a version of the ID Reader, DataMan 200, with Ethernet connectivity and liquid lens technology to the world's smallest high performance fixed-mount reader. These new features enable faster communication speed, easier integration with factory controls, and software-driven autofocus for easy, hands-free set-up. This is the first image-based reader 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 series offers industry-leading reading performance in a small product size with Ethernet connectivity for real-time tracking, image download, data transfer and effortless plant integration.

Features:

• World's first introduction of liquid lens technology provides rapid hands-free, software-driven autofocus with no moving parts and increased depth of field flexibility
• Separate models available with three-position adjustable lens, liquid lens, and C-mount lens
• Integrated lighting and laser aiming, and
• Liquid lens technology, an optional feature of the DataMan 200, provides greater focal range, ease of setup, and faster response time. This unique technology adjusts 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.

Set-up 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.
