Product Description

The Keyence BL-601 is an ultra-compact laser barcode reader designed for precise and reliable scanning in space-constrained environments. Measuring just 31 x 40 x 21 mm, it offers a reading distance of 75 to 330 mm with a scan rate of 500 scans per second. Equipped with Auto Gain Control (AGC) and Specular Reflection Cancel (SRC) circuits, the BL-601 ensures stable performance by minimizing the effects of ambient light and surface reflectivity. Additionally, it features a built-in Performance Monitoring Indicator (PMI) function, allowing real-time monitoring and reporting of reading performance. The reader supports various barcode types, including CODE39, CODE128, EAN/UPC, and more. With its IP65 enclosure rating, the BL-601 is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.​
