Boost traceability and operational efficiency with barcode readers engineered to handle the most challenging codes in the harshest manufacturing environments.
The DataMan Series excels at reading worn, damaged, and direct part marks (DPMs) on components—while enduring exposure to oil, water, dirt, and repeated impact.
With a built-in OLED display and support for a wide range of industrial protocols, setup and feedback are fast and intuitive—so you can deploy quickly, scan confidently, and keep your operations moving.
DataMan 8700 series readers are built to endure relentless manufacturing environments, improving throughput and operational efficiency by thriving where other readers fail. With resilient IP67-rated housing, DataMan 8700 series readers adhere to ISO oil-resistance standards, can function in up to one meter of water, and can withstand multiple drops from 2.5 meters onto concrete.
The DataMan 8700DX model is equipped with the latest patented decoding algorithms, HDR technology, high speed liquid lens, and a multi-core processor to read codes in under 150 milliseconds. Integrated diffuse, polarized, and direct lighting enables superior image formation to read dot peen, laser-etched, and label-based codes on challenging (shiny, cylindrical, dark) surfaces without any hot spots.
The reader’s OLED display screen and on-device controls enable operators to set up and start scanning without connecting to a PC.
On-board industrial protocols enable the DataMan 8700 to seamlessly connect to PLCs and networks. DataMan 8700 supports multiple communication options including corded and wireless options:
