DataMan 470 series fixed-mount barcode readers solve complex, high-throughput manufacturing and logistics applications with ease. DataMan 470’s multi-core processing power, imaging technology, high-resolution sensor, advanced decoding algorithms, and simple setup delivers maximum coverage, speed, and ease-of-use.

Fast, powerful performance solves challenging applications

The DataMan 470 barcode reader has seven powerful processing cores, enabling it to run multiple algorithms and processes in parallel at astonishing speeds. It reads challenging 1D and 2D codes in varied locations, as well as multiple mixed symbologies simultaneously while maintaining the highest decode rates.

Advanced technology improves throughput and traceability

DataMan 470’s innovative imaging technology delivers unprecedented coverage and speed allowing greater process variation and lower facility design costs. It enhances the image quality of 1D and 2D codes and reads barcodes not even visible to conventional readers.
DataMan 470 series is optimized with patented algorithms to ensure continuously high read rates of 1D and 2D symbologies, regardless of size, quality, printing method, or surface.

• 2DMax with PowerGrid technology

Easy setup and process feedback for optimal production processes

The newly optimized DataMan Setup Tool simplifies reader setup by providing a step-by-step installation flow for easy and efficient setup. DataMan 470 series includes Gigabit Ethernet for fast, full-resolution image transfer to the Setup Tool to help diagnose the cause of unread codes. Cognex Explorer Real Time Monitoring (RTM) provides barcode quality metrics to help optimize production processes.

Advanced Image Formation

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging uses the latest CMOS image sensor technology which is 16 times more detailed than conventional sensors. HDR takes advantage of the extra available image data to globally enhance image quality and contrast.

HDR+ is an advanced algorithm that stretches the boundaries of HDR technology by further increasing localized contrast changes automatically. This creates a more uniformed image in a single acquisition allowing greater depth-of-field, faster line speeds, and improved handling of difficult codes.

• 1DMax is an advanced 1D barcode algorithm optimized for omnidirectional barcode reading and extreme variations in contrast, blur, damage, resolution, quiet zone violations, and perspective distortion.
• Hotbars technology locates and extracts 1D barcodes up to 10x faster than a typical reader, even with increased noise, large specular reflection, reduced quiet zone, limited contrast, and damage.
• 2DMax is a breakthrough 2D barcode reading algorithm that provides reliable 2D code reading despite code quality, printing method, or surface type.
• PowerGrid technology quickly locates 2D codes that exhibit significant damage to or complete elimination of a code’s finder pattern, clocking pattern, or quiet zone.

High-Resolution Sensor

DataMan 470’s high-resolution sensor enables greater field-of-view and depth-of-field coverage than other readers. It reads large and small codes form various angles, including high density 2D DPM codes.
