Cognex DataMan 280 Series

The Cognex DataMan 280 series is a family of fixed-mount barcode readers designed for fast and reliable decoding of 1D and 2D codes. They come in a compact housing with integrated lighting and lens options, which makes them easy to install in tight spaces on production lines or conveyor systems. Using Cognex’s powerful algorithms, the DataMan 280 can read difficult barcodes—such as damaged, low-contrast, or moving codes—at production speeds. It supports industrial communication protocols and trigger modes, allowing seamless integration into automated systems for tasks like tracking products or guiding robots.
