Cognex to Exhibit the DataMan 500 at Pack Expo Las Vegas 2011
NATICK, MA - August 2011 - Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX) announces that it will demonstrate the DataMan® 500 fixed-mount barcode reader in Booth C-4218 at the upcoming Pack Expo, scheduled to take place September 26-28, 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.
The DataMan 500 offers consistent, reliable reading of 1-D barcodes that lasers cannot read, including damaged, distorted, blurred, scratched, low height and low contrast codes. It also reads codes presented in any orientation, multiple codes within the same image, and 2-D codes such as Data Matrix and QR codes. With no moving parts to wear out, the DataMan 500 also offers exceptional reliability, lower maintenance and longer product life.
The high-performance DataMan 500 is powered by a proprietary vision chip technology, Cognex VSoC(TM) (Vision System on a Chip), providing unmatched barcode reading and ease of use not found in other image-based or laser systems available today. Lighting, camera, processor, and communications are all integrated into an exceptionally small industrial housing, making the DataMan fixed-mount readers ideal for the most demanding applications at one reasonable price. Additionally, trigger-free reading and ultra high frame rates eliminate the need for an external trigger, reducing overall setup cost and deployment time.
