Ultra-Compact Digital Barcode Readers

The Future Belongs to Digital Barcode Readers

BL-1300 Series (3Hi-Digital) models

KEYENCE's new BL-1300 Series (3Hi-Digital) models.
The first models in this class to use parallel digital processing technology. Noise reduction and compensation functions only possible with digital processing overcome the reading performance difficulties of conventional analogue circuits.

100% Decode Rate at 1300 scans/sec is Unmatched By Conventional Barcode Readers [HI-SPEED]

New high-speed motor (2.6 times faster than previous model) and high-speed processing engine (HPPE).
*HPPE = Hi-Speed Parallel Processing Engine

New Digital Processing Reads Very Low Quality Codes [HI-PERFORMANCE]

A new edge detection process accurately extracts the points of alternation between bars and spaces in even the most difficult-to-read barcodes, while digital compensation makes it possible to read varying narrow/wide ratios.

Minimum Readable Narrow Bar Width : 0.08 mm (0.003”) [HI-RESOLUTION]

Digital processing guarantees stable decode of barcodes with incredibly small margins. This allows codes to be printed smaller without the worry of noise affecting the reader.

Same Basic Functions as Previous Models

Test modes available from the test switch: BL-1300 Series models have a test switch that lets you start test modes from the barcode reader body.

[TEST MODE]
• Read ratio measurement mode
• Cycle time measurement mode
• Barcode position measurement mode

5-bar LED: Displays the result of the executed test mode. Shows the result at a glance, significantly reducing the man-hours needed for adjustment work.
