Data Matrix Products
Pryor remain the only marking/traceability company in the industry capable of developing, manufacturing and supporting marking, verification and reading systems for direct part mark traceability. In 2003 Pryor acquired Absolute Vision Ltd, combining Pryor’s extensive knowledge of direct part marked 2D codes with Absolute Visions expertise in industrial vision systems. This unique in-depth engineering expertise allows us to develop the most advanced directly marked Data Matrix readers and verifiers, to adapt our standard products to your needs or to integrate complete traceability solutions.
Data Matrix Readers & Verifiers DataMouse™ Pro
Powerful Direct Part Mark Data Matrix reader in a cost effective package
The DataMouse Pro has been developed specifically to read the toughest Data Matrix direct part marks (DPM). The DataMouse ‘on contact’ approach blocks out ambient light and sets the optimum focus. This allows the intelligent multi angle, multi intensity lighting to create the best real-time on-screen image possible for Data Matrix decoding.
The DataMouse™ connects to a PC/Laptop via the USB2.0 connector and requires no external power supply making a laptop connected DataMouse™ a truly portable solution.
