The Keyence BL-1301HA is an ultra-small digital barcode reader engineered to deliver high-resolution scanning performance in demanding automation and identification applications. Built with advanced technology and a compact footprint, this reader provides manufacturers with accurate, reliable, and space-efficient barcode detection, making it ideal for integration into equipment where installation space is limited.

At its core, the BL-1301HA is a high-resolution type reader, capable of handling barcodes with fine patterns, dense information, or reduced size. This makes it an excellent solution for industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and precision manufacturing, where product labeling often involves compact, data-rich codes. The reader ensures dependable results even in environments where barcode clarity may be compromised by printing quality or surface conditions.

The device employs a front raster scanning method, which expands its capability to read barcodes presented at different angles and orientations. By scanning in a raster pattern, the BL-1301HA minimizes the risk of missed reads, improving throughput and reducing errors in fast-paced production lines. This feature is particularly valuable for automated systems where barcodes may not always be perfectly aligned.

Despite its advanced capabilities, the BL-1301HA maintains a compact, lightweight design at only 115 g, allowing it to be mounted in tight areas without adding significant load to machinery or conveyors. Its ultra-small form factor makes it suitable for equipment with restricted space while still providing powerful scanning performance.

The reader operates with a visible 660 nm semiconductor laser, categorized as a Class 2 laser product, ensuring safe operation while maintaining a strong, accurate beam for barcode recognition. With a power consumption of 400 mA or less at 5 VDC, the BL-1301HA is energy-efficient, providing stable performance without imposing heavy demands on power systems. Its controlled output of 85 µW with a pulse duration of 112 µs ensures consistent, precise scanning while maintaining compliance with international safety standards (IEC60825-1, FDA Part 1040.10).

In application, the Keyence BL-1301HA proves invaluable in tasks such as product identification, traceability, inventory management, and process verification. Whether applied on high-speed production lines, automated inspection systems, or compact machinery, the reader guarantees reliability and accuracy that directly supports quality assurance and operational efficiency.

In summary, the Keyence BL-1301HA combines high-resolution scanning, raster-based reading flexibility, compact size, and safe visible laser technology to deliver a barcode reader that excels in modern industrial environments. With its ability to adapt to tight installations while maintaining exceptional performance, it is a robust solution for manufacturers seeking accuracy, reliability, and efficiency in barcode identification.
