April 1, 2021

Cognex Corporation recently announced the launch of its DataMan 8700 Series of handheld barcode readers. Built on a completely redesigned platform, this next generation of handheld readers delivers cutting-edge performance and ease of use with no tuning or operator training required.

“Cognex specializes in reading the most difficult barcodes at the highest speed and accuracy,” said Carl Gerst, Cognex Senior Vice President and Business Unit Manager of Identification Products. “With the 8700 Series, we’ve developed the world’s fastest line of industrial handheld readers, offering unprecedented response times and durability right out of the box.”

Featuring advanced image formation and quick processing, the 8700 Series can instantly read challenging direct part mark (DPM) and label-based codes, even when vital elements of the code are missing or damaged. Designed with oil-resistant and waterproof plastics, the readers are built to last in the harshest manufacturing environments.

The new readers include built-in OLED display screens to enable quick setup and operator feedback, such as wireless signal strength, read string data, and remaining battery life. They also support a broad range of industrial protocols and wireless communication options to connect seamlessly and operate efficiently in any facility. 

The 8700 Series is ideal for improving factory efficiency, productivity, and component traceability across a range of industries, including automotive, medical devices, electronics, and aerospace.

Now Presenting Easy-Laser® XT20 and XT22 – A User-Friendly Precision Laser Transmitters Ever Designed!

 

 One of the most important things during a machine installation is to ensure the flatness of the base. With the new XT20 and XT22 we have facilitated handling, which makes for faster measurements and fewer fault sources. More reliable machine installation, put simply. Both transmitters can be used for flatness and straightness measurement. In addition, the XT22 can direct the laser beam at 90 degrees to the laser plane, which means you can solve virtually all types of geometric measurement jobs. The area of use therefore does not stop at measuring the flatness of bases. The XT22 also has a higher technical specification for straightness thanks to fiber laser technology, and can take measurements at distances up to 40 m. The XT20 can take measurements at distances up to 20m but is also IP55 rated water and dust proof.
