BL-180

High-speed of 500 scans per second

BL-180 Series CCD Barcode Readers boast a speed of 500 scans per second, which is among the fastest in its class. Despite their small size, all BL-180 models have built-in decoders.

Choose from 7 different barcode symbologies

Using the intuitive Windows® setup software, the BL-500 Series can be set to decode the following code types: CODE39, ITF, Industrial 2- of-5, COOP 2-of-5, Codabar, CODE 128, EAN/UPC (-A and -E).

Display of the reading frequency greatly simplifies control of production-line speed.

Simply connect the barcode reader to a computer to view the performance rate (% of maximum) and barcode reading frequency (scans per second).

Simple, versatile setup program

An intuitive Windows®-compatible setup program simplifies setup of operating parameters. No more complex, labor-intensive programming.

Both single-scan and raster-scan types are available

Single-scan reads barcodes using one scan line. This is the best choice for stable, high-speed production lines.

Raster-scan reads barcodes using multiple scan lines. This type excels at accurate reading of flawed barcodes, such as those with ink spots or voids.


The BL-180’s compact body can easily be mounted anywhere on the part shelf.

Despite it’s ultra small body, just half the size of a business card, the BL-180 Series offers a wide reading range. It can reliably read barcodes on specimen containers.
