Cognex DMR-260Q-MAX DataMan 260Q 752x480 2D Imager Fixed Mount Barcode Scanner

SKU CH-YF9J-Y9YAP MPN DMR-260Q-MAX

Fixed-mount 2D imager reads barcodes at 752 x 480 resolution with auto-focus liquid lens at 45 decodes per second and IP65 protection

  • Decodes up to 45 codes per second for high-throughput lines
  • Captures 60 frames per second to track fast-moving items
  • 752 × 480 sensor resolves small or low-contrast symbols
  • 2 mm liquid lens auto-focuses without mechanical adjustment
  • IP65 housing resists dust and water jets in harsh environments

Fixed-mount 2D imager for industrial lines

The Cognex DMR-260Q-MAX is a fixed-mount barcode scanner built for automated production and logistics lines. It captures 752 x 480 resolution images using a 2D imager with a 6.2 mm liquid lens that auto-focuses on moving items. The unit reads codes at up to 45 decodes per second while running at 60 frames per second, suiting high-throughput traceability tasks.

Sealed IP65 housing with optoisolated I/O

An IP65-rated enclosure protects the optics and electronics from dust and low-pressure water jets common in factory environments. Four optoisolated discrete outputs provide noise-immune signalling to PLCs or controllers without ground-loop issues. Communications use a standard RS-232 link, keeping integration simple on legacy and modern control systems alike.

Replaces manual or lower-speed scanners

This scanner upgrades stations that still rely on handheld readers or slower fixed cameras, removing operator variability and raising line speed. The jump is worthwhile when throughput demands exceed 45 codes per second and the environment requires IP65 sealing. Operations staying below that decode rate or lacking RS-232 infrastructure may not see a return on the change.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the DMR-260Q-MAX and focus the 6.2 mm liquid lens correctly?

Secure the fixed-mount housing, connect RS-232 and the four optoisolated outputs, then enable the auto-focus routine so the liquid lens calibrates working distance before the first 45 codes per second scan.

Which parts of the DataMan 260Q need periodic cleaning or replacement?

Keep the IP65-rated front window free of oil and dust; the liquid lens and imager have no user-serviceable components, so only external optical cleaning is required.

At what sustained decode rate does the 752 x 480 imager hit its processing ceiling?

The decoder tops out at 45 codes per second even though the sensor runs at 60 fps, so sustained throughput is limited by the 45/s maximum decode rate.
