Product Description

The Keyence BL-601HA is an ultra-compact, high-resolution laser barcode reader designed for precise scanning in space-constrained industrial applications. Utilizing a front raster scanning method, it offers a reading distance of 55–190 mm for narrow bar widths of 0.125 mm, with a maximum label width of 156 mm at 174 mm reading distance. The device supports multiple barcode formats, including CODE39, CODE128, and EAN/UPC, and operates at a scanning speed of 500 scans per second. Its visible red laser (655 nm) is classified as Class 2, ensuring safe operation. With an IP65 rating, the BL-601HA is built to withstand harsh environments, offering protection against dust and water ingress.​
