Bar Code Reader includes built-in display.

Press Release Summary:




Using polygon mirror scanning technology, Series BL-600 laser scan bar code reader operates at 500 scans/sec, reads bars as thin as 0.125 mm, and operates at distances up to 330 mm. Specular Reflection Cancellation circuit operates in conjunction with Automatic Gain Control to eliminate reading errors caused by highly reflective backgrounds. Preventative Maintenance feature monitors and reports reading performance to detect potential reading error problems.



Original Press Release:



Ultra-Compact Laser Scan Bar Code Reader Has Built-In Reading Efficiency Display



The ultra-compact BL-600 Series is the World's smallest, high performance laser scan bar code reader. Weighing only 115 g and half the size of conventional readers, the BL-600 operates at 500 scans/sec. making it the fastest laser scan reader in its class. Using Keyence's patented polygon mirror scanning technology, the BL-600 provides twice the reading area and incident reading angle of conventional bar code readers and reads bars as thin as 0.125 mm. It operates at distances of up to 330 mm (12.9 in).

A built-in 5-bar reading efficiency display simplifies setup and maintenance. A TEST button activates a red LED on the display panel to alert the user to reading errors.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) logic provides ultra-stable, high-speed performance with excellent reading depth and angle characteristics even with varying colors, low-contrast bar codes, etc. A Specular Reflection Cancellation (SRC) circuit operates in conjunction with AGC to eliminate reading errors caused by highly reflective backgrounds.

The BL-600 is the industry's first bar code reader to provide the unique Preventative Maintenance (PMI) feature (patent pending). PMI monitors and reports reading performance during operation making it possible to detect potential reading error problems.

Keyence's Windows® compatible setup program makes setup fast and simple and facilitates computer data management. Single-scan and raster-scan models are available. Both front and side-viewing models may be specified.
