DataMan 8700 Handheld Barcode Reader Overview
What is DataMan 8700 Handheld Barcode Reader?
The COGNEX DataMan 8700 Handheld Barcode Reader is designed to provide cutting-edge performance in the harshest manufacturing environments. It excels at reading worn or damaged codes and direct-part marks (DPMs), improving component traceability and operational efficiency. The DataMan 8700 series readers are housed in a robust, oil, and water-resistant IP67-rated housing, ensuring their durability in challenging conditions. They can function even in up to one meter of water and withstand multiple drops from 2.5 meters onto concrete.
One standout feature of the DataMan 8700DX model is its premium read performance, which can decode codes in under 150 milliseconds. It incorporates patented decoding algorithms, HDR technology, a high-speed liquid lens, and a multi-core processor. This allows it to reliably read imperfect DPMs and label-based codes, even on challenging surfaces such as shiny, cylindrical, or dark materials. The reader's integrated diffuse, polarized, and direct lighting ensures superior image formation without hot spots.
The DataMan 8700 also offers an intuitive design for optimal efficiency. Operators can set up and start scanning without connecting to a PC, thanks to the OLED display screen and on-device controls. The device provides clear operator feedback through a powerful audio tone, color-coded lights, and vibration alerts. Additionally, it supports various communication options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth direct connect, Bluetooth connection to an intelligent base station, and corded options, making it versatile for different industrial applications.
What applications is DataMan 8700 Handheld Barcode Reader product best for?
- Aerospace applications: Decode large and small 1D label-based and 2D direct part mark (DPM) codes on any surface and from any angle.
- Automotive applications: Read challenging 2D DPM codes for engine, transmission, and final assembly, as well as kitting applications. This includes laser-etched and dot peen codes on round, shiny, and textured surfaces.
- Electronics applications: Read challenging 2D codes on PCB boards, even codes occluded by chips on the board.
- Medical device applications: Decode small laser-etched codes on shiny and cylindrical surfaces like those found on medical instruments and artificial implants such as a replacement hip or knee.
