Selection list
Heads, rings and the parts around them. Specifications are copied from vendor datasheets with the date we checked them. Where a datasheet is silent we print "not published" instead of a guess.
Pricing: heads and components are quoted against your bill of materials. Ring and station lines carry an indicative band, ex works, EU import duties and VAT excluded.
H6 ring module target
Fluffee, first build
Five area heads plus one line scan bottom, encoder triggered, results merged per parcel. Heads can be ours or yours.
from €3,950module, heads by you
T6 trigger box
Fluffee, first build
Encoder input, six isolated trigger outputs, strobe pulse set in hardware from 50 to 100 µs. Sync error under 1 µs across six heads.

Cognex DataMan 474
Area scan, IP67, datasheet 2026-11
2048 × 1536, 80 Hz, liquid lens. 16 mm lens reads 6 mil at 676 mm (1D) and 465 mm (2D). RS-232, TCP/IP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP.

Cognex DataMan 475
Area scan, IP67, datasheet 2026-11
2448 × 2048, 55 Hz. Same interface set as the 474. Choose it when the code is small but the line is not fast enough to need 80 Hz.

Cognex DataMan 3816
Area scan, IP67, manual 2026-11
5320 × 3032, 16.13 MP, 2 × GbE with TSN, 40 W integrated illumination. Frame rate not published by the vendor.

SICK Lector85x, 12 MP
Area scan, IP65, overview 2026-10
6048 × 2048 or 4096 × 3008, 15 Hz, dynamic focus, 3.5 m/s. The fastest published multi-megapixel reader we could verify. Tracking and code to object assignment built in.

Keyence SR-X300
Area scan, datasheet 2026-11
1920 × 1200. Smallest published 2D resolution in this list: 0.024 mm, or 0.010 mm with the high resolution head. Depth of field 70 to 1000 mm.

Hikrobot MV-ID6200M
Area scan, 20 MP, 2026-11
20 MP area head used in the standard five plus one six-sided build. Resolution and rate not published on the dealer sheet we could reach.

Newland NLS-Soldier300N
Area scan, IP67, datasheet 2026-11
1920 × 1200, 1D 1 mil and 2D 2.5 mil resolution, motion tolerance 2 m/s, 50 to 1000 mm. PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, SLMP.

Hikrobot MV-ID7080EM
Line scan, 8K, handbook 2026-11
8K line scan head used as the bottom reader behind a mirror in the standard six-sided build. It exists because the underside of a parcel is not visible to any area head.

16 mm HSLL lens
Component, liquid lens class
The lens that sets the depth of field numbers on this page. 6 mil reaches 0.68 m, 20 mil reaches 2.25 m. Fitting a wider lens buys width and costs code size.
quotedBOM priced
Strobe and ring illumination
Component
Overdriven LED bars sized against the exposure budget, not against a catalogue page. Peak current is set by the trigger box.
quotedBOM priced
Ring frame, mirror and cabling
Component
Welded frame for the ring, bottom mirror bracket, encoder and photo eye kit, shielded GigE runs to the cabinet.

Two things are deliberately missing from this list: a price per head, and a "compatible with everything" claim. Head pricing follows the bill of materials you choose, and compatibility is a geometry question that we answer per project.
