QL Models
Best-in-class 1-D barcode
reading with 1DMax
™
, which is
optimized for omnidirectional
barcode reading. QL models are
eld upgradeable to the Q model.
S Models
For slow-moving parts or index
motion where parts have well-
marked 1-D and 2-D codes.
Q Models
High-performance code reading
of 1-D and 2-D codes on fast-
moving parts. Includes 1DMax
and ID Quick
™
technologies.
X Models
High-performance code reading
for applications that require
reading challenging 1-D and
2-D codes, including Direct Part
Mark (DPM) codes. X Models
can also include patent pending
PowerGrid
™
technology to read
codes without visible perimeters.
Optimal image formation for any code
Codes on round, shiny, highly reective, or specular surfaces very often require custom
illumination to allow them to be read reliably. Low resolution codes and codes at long
working distances also present reading challenges. Cognex’s modular technology makes
reading these codes simple.
16 mm lens
—compared to the standard 6.2 mm lens, this lens can read smaller codes and
codes at further working distances.
Liquid lens technology
—the liquid lens module gives you the ability to perform autofocus
with no moving parts.
High-powered Integrated Light (HPIL)
—four high-powered red
LEDs direct more light onto the code for better image formation.
This feature is particularly useful for long distance code reading
and high speed applications.
Half-polarized front cover
—2 polarized LEDs and 2
unpolarized LEDs can be congured for custom lighting for any
application. The polarized LEDs are ideal for shiny, specular
surfaces, while the unpolarized LEDS are for long distance
and high speed applications. Fully polarized and un-polarized
front covers are also available, and can be easily interchanged.
By simply pressing the Tune button on the reader, the reader
automatically optimizes the lighting levels, focus, and lighting
scheme for best image formation.
