DataMan 503 Series Code Readers

The DataMan 503 Series code readers, with their industry-leading read rates, performance feedback, and absence of moving parts, are well-suited for the most challenging barcode reading applications and will redefine the industry's expectations for code reader functionality.

Specialized for Challenging Logistics ApplicationsThe DataMan 503 is an extension of the existing DataMan series of logistics code readers, expanding the application range for image-based code readers. It is particularly suitable for high-speed applications with wide bandwidths or significant package height differences. Key applications for the DataMan 503 include:

- High-speed sorting

- Wide manual conveyor scanning

- High-speed material handling

- 5-6-sided sorting (scanning channels)

- Chassis scanning

Cost Reduction and Process Improvement

The DataMan 503 incorporates all the unique DataMan features that set Cognex code readers apart, including:

- High read rates

- Performance feedback using FTP image transfer

- Absence of moving parts

High read rates to increase throughput in distribution centers

The DataMan 503 Series fixed-mount code readers utilize a high-speed dual-core engine and Cognex's latest algorithms, allowing for read rates of up to 140Hz.

Combined with 1DMax® with Hotbars® II and 2DMax® with the patent-pending PowerGrid™ technology, they can decode damaged or poorly printed one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes without being affected by code quality, printing methods, or code surface conditions. They can also read two-dimensional codes with invisible ranges or quiet zones.

Other features include:

- 2.1-megapixel resolution

- Fast image acquisition of over 100 frames per second

- Multi-camera synchronization

- Xpand 25 for applications requiring a larger field of view
