MAIN MENU PRODUCTS APPLICATIONS INDEX SELECTION GUIDE Super Compact Laser Description Bar Code Readers Ultra compact, half the size of standard bar code readers With the BL-600 (31 x 40 x 21 mm 1.22" x 1.57" x 0.83") KEYENCE again breaks the world record for smallest bar code reader. Only 1/2 BL-600 Series BL-600 Series the size of the conventional bar code readers. Twice the range with excellent Features reading performance � World’s smallest laser bar code reader in its BL-600 Built-in AGC* & SRC circuits class Using KEYENCE’s original AGC circuits � Twice the reading area Conventional for advanced, high speed performance, models � Scans bars as narrow as 0.125 mm 0.005" the BL-600 offers excellent reading � Scan rate of 500 scans per second depth and angle characteristics. In addition, the reader includes built-in SRC circuits which greatly reduce the Reading width: 1.3 times effects of extraneous reflected light for Reading distance more reliable and stable reading. Standard – 75 to 330 mm (2.95" to 12.99") * AGC=Auto Gain Control/SRC=Specular Reflection Cancel High-resolution – 55 to 190 mm (2.17" to 7.48") The world's first built-in preventive maintenance High-resolution side-scanning – 45 to 175 mm Built-in PMI* function (patent pending) (1.77" to 6.89") The BL-600 is the first bar code reader with a built-in PMI function for monitoring and reporting reading performance during operation. By referring to the PMI information, it is possible to quickly detect potential reading error problems. PMI offers a convenient tool for acquiring valuable maintenance information, and for investigating the causes of reading errors. * Preventive Maintenance Information Test switch for easy adjustment Built-in test mode The test mode allows you to confirm the optimal reading position at the point of installation by simply pressing a button. This valuable feature of the BL-600 results in faster installation and maintenance. 5-bar LED display Indicates reading status to prevent errors 5-bar LED reading status indicator The BL-600 indicates the reading ratio* (decoding rate/100 scans) in real time using a five-bar LED display. Current reading status can be checked at a 100% of max. rate 40% of max. rate Reading error glance, helping to prevent reading errors before they occur. * Reading ratio can be output to computers. Ultra high speed of 500 scans/sec Outstanding reading accuracy, even on high-speed lines Using advanced KEYENCE control technology the BL-600 operates at 500 scans per second, making it the fastest laser bar code reader in its class. 290 Reading distance: 1.6 times MAIN MENU PRODUCTS APPLICATIONS INDEX SELECTION GUIDE Super Compact Laser Bar Code Readers BL-600 Applications Wafer carriers Medical Printed circuit boards Even teflon-coated bar codes can be read With its compact body and high speed The BL-600 is ideal for use in printed Bar code management for LCD boards reliably, thanks to the BL-600’s reading capability, the BL-600 can easily circuit board production lines.
