DATAMAN 8700DX – COGNEX: SOLVE BARCODE READING CHALLENGES WITH THE NEWEST HANDHELD BARCODE READER

For years, DataMan handheld barcode readers have provided best-in-class performance for decoding 1D and 2D codes in industrial environments to improve part traceability and factory efficiency. Feedback from customers noted conventional handheld barcode readers have had trouble in the following areas:

Reading challenging direct part mark (DPM) codes
Decoding any 1D or 2D code quickly
Withstanding damaging oils and fluids
Seamlessly connecting to networks
Providing operator feedback
Sustaining battery life for a full work shift

To solve these challenges, Cognex engineered the brand new DataMan 8700DX, built on a completely redesigned platform with cutting-edge performance, more robustness, and easier setup.

Challenging codes are no match for the latest technology

DataMan 8700DX can instantly read challenging DPM and label-based codes, even when vital elements of the code are missing or damaged due to the latest advanced technology:

1DMax with Hotbars optimizes DataMan 8700DX for omnidirectional 1D barcode reading, decoding up to 10X the speed of conventional barcode readers.
2DMax with PowerGrid is designed to read 2D codes with significant damage to or complete elimination of a code’s finder or clocking pattern, or quiet zone.
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging uses the latest CMOS image sensor technology to acquire single images that are significantly more detailed than conventional sensor images. This enhances image quality and contrast and captures features that are not visible without HDR.
A high-speed multi-core processor enables much faster response times, reading codes in under 150 milliseconds.
High-speed liquid lens technology automatically adapts to changes in working distances without any configuration or wait time focus.
Integrated diffuse, polarized, and direct lighting enables superior image formation to read dot peen, laser-etched, and label-based codes on shiny, cylindrical, and dark surfaces without any hot spots.

Rugged, robust housing withstands harsh oils, dirt, and water

In the past, oils and fluids surrounding an application site have quickly damaged barcode scanners, but the DataMan 8700DX is built to last in the harshest environments. It has IP67-rated housing and meets the ISO 16750-5 oil specification for oil resistance. It is submersible in one meter of water without causing damage and withstands multiple drops from 2.5 meters onto concrete.

Setup is easy with a new display screen and expanded communication options

The DataMan 8700DX was built with a first-of-its-kind OLED display screen to make setup easy and to give operators quick and intuitive feedback without connecting to a PC.

Setup the reader using the configurator buttons below the screen
Name the reader to know which station it belongs to
View the wireless signal strength to ensure the reader is within range
Monitor battery life so the reader doesn’t power down mid-shift
Review code data to ensure a successful read

Integrated industrial protocols enable DataMan 8700DX barcode readers to easily connect to PLCs and factory networks. DataMan 8700DX supports more communication options than ever before including Wi-Fi 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2, and a corded option. It also allows for a direct connection to computers, tablets, and phones. And the high capacity 5000mAh battery is double the size of previous handheld models, enabling the DataMan 8700DX to last for a full work shift.
