It offers what is billed as 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 DataMan 8000 Series represents a true
breakthrough for industrial handheld readers,” said Carl Gerst, Business
Unit Manager for ID Products. “In addition to its powerful code
reading capability and rugged design, the DataMan 8000 Series
communicates easily with factory networks and ERP systems for real-time
traceability, and the automatic variable focus enables operators to use
the system close up for very small 2D Data Matrix direct part marks and
at a distance to read longer 1D barcodes.” Cognex Corp.www.cognex.com/8000877.COGNEX1
