The Keyence BL-180 is an ultra-compact CCD barcode reader engineered to deliver high-precision barcode scanning in constrained spaces. Its front-type design enables integration into machinery or production lines where space is at a premium, making it a versatile solution for automated systems and inspection stations.

Equipped with a CCD image sensor and LED light source, the BL-180 provides consistent, accurate readings across a wide range of barcode types and surface conditions. The combination of LED illumination and high-resolution imaging ensures reliable performance even under varying ambient lighting or on reflective materials, reducing the risk of read errors in demanding industrial environments.

The BL-180 excels at reading extremely fine barcodes, supporting bar widths from 0.125 mm to 1.0 mm (0.005″ to 0.039″). For narrow bars of at least 0.19 mm (0.007″) in width, it can maintain an effective reading distance of approximately 33 mm ±10 mm (1.30″ ±0.39″), providing both flexibility and precision for applications requiring compact labeling or detailed code marking. This capability makes it suitable for sectors such as electronics assembly, pharmaceuticals, and precision manufacturing.

With a scanning rate of 500 scans per second, the BL-180 ensures rapid and accurate data acquisition, supporting high-speed production lines without compromising reading reliability. Its ultra-small footprint, precise scanning capability, and robust design make it an excellent choice for automated inspection, traceability, and production management systems.

Compact yet powerful, the Keyence BL-180 combines high-speed scanning, exceptional accuracy, and reliable front-type reading, delivering a dependable solution for industries that demand precise and efficient barcode reading in limited spaces.
