Barcode Readers
An extensive range of fixed mount 1-D/2-D barcode readers and handheld scanners for industrial applications.
Lineup
The SR-X Series of AI-powered code readers has a compact design - 72% smaller than our conventional models - while still providing high-performance reading for a wide variety of codes. The AI and latest decoding algorithms provide stable reading between processes, tracking changes in codes that occur from one process to the next. It is also possible to link code readers between processes for improved reading performance. With these connections, the operating status and current settings of readers on the same network can be viewed together in a list. Automatic focus adjustment and fully automatic tuning make setup easy with the press of a button.
The ST Series Scan Tunnel System for logistics sites—where high throughput is necessary—utilizes an offset focal plane to ensure stable reading of barcodes even with package gaps as short as 50 mm (2″). Reducing package gaps allows for more packages to be processed every hour, leading to higher throughput. The ST Series also offers a wider field of view and greater depth of field than conventional models, reducing the required installation space to half the size for greater design flexibility. KEYENCE also offers bottom-side readers with a unique side-mounted design, logistics-focused dimensioning systems, and AI-equipped analysis software. The ST Series is the ideal tool capable of meeting a variety of logistics industry needs, from inbound through outbound scanning.
The SR-5000 Series logistics code reader offers an ultra-wide field of view, ultra-long depth of field, and high-speed reading, resulting in easy installation and operation in logistics environments for reliable capture of codes on fast-moving packages. Stable reading is ensured even when packages of different shapes and sizes are on the same line moving at high speeds, regardless of where the barcode labels are found on the packages. These readers eliminate the need to prepare to align the packages to one side of the conveyor, thereby contributing to reduced costs and a lower risk of malfunction thanks to the simplified conveyor system. While multiple readers were conventionally necessary for reading one side, simply installing one SR-5000 Series reader per side makes it possible to read the codes on labels affixed on the top and sides of packages of different sizes and varying locations. This is possible thanks to the ultra-wide field of view and deep depth of field of the SR-5000 Series.
The SR-2000 Series of 1D/2D code readers achieve high speed reading over long distances with a wide field of view and large depth of field. With a field of view more than twice that of conventional models, these scanners support simultaneous reading of multiple barcodes and varying positions, contributing to shorter cycle times and increased stability. Also, this series achieves a reading distance that is more than double that of conventional models, so there is no need for barcode position control or changeovers. This 1D/2D code reader can instantly read codes on moving objects such as sites using conveyors or robotic transfers. No expert imaging knowledge is required, and there is no need for additional lighting or other external equipment. The fully automatic calibration function easily makes automatic code reading stable under a variety of conditions just by installing the unit.
KEYENCE’s HR-X Series of rugged industrial handheld code readers offers ultra-durability and high performance even in harsh work environments thanks to an IP65/67G enclosure rating, and impressive reading performance for improved efficiency. The durable design eliminates the most common causes of failures such as water and oil adhesion, drops and repeated drops, and terminal wear for usability in any working environment—from the harsh conditions of manufacturing sites to logistics sites where repeated impacts are common. The AI-enhanced multi-core decoder also offers drastically improved reading performance for difficult-to-read DPM codes in addition to greater flexibility with codes read at a distance or at an angle. With reliable reading of even the most challenging codes, faster operations even with time-consuming tasks, and a significantly longer service life, the HR-X Series improves on-site efficiency and reduces costs at the same time.
The SR-G100 Series handheld DPM code reader features fast scanning and reading stability. This series offers (1) user-friendliness in terms of easy handling owing to wireless connection along with simple setup and operations and (2) a high level of barcode/2D code reading performance. Operators can use the automatic calibration function to scan and configure settings with just the press of a button. This series is also equipped with a multi-lighting control function, which automatically selects the most suitable lighting from the different colors, polarized, multi-angle, and partial lighting options. This function also removes glare and enables the stable reading of challenging codes on metal or black plastic cylinders and dot peen marking on casting surfaces. The ergonomically designed body and optimal center-of-gravity design allow the user to immediately hold this series at the best angle and position, improving work efficiency.
The compact and lightweight HR-100 Series handheld code reader features an easy-to-handle design perfect for work environments and has a scanning range approximately 3 times and a depth of field 1.4 times those of conventional models. The decoding speed is approximately 3 times faster than conventional models with 2D codes and 2 times faster with barcodes. As this series can quickly scan barcodes and 2D codes over a wide area, it can drastically improve your operational efficiency. These handheld models use a smaller number of parts while achieving higher performance, thereby reducing failure risks during operation and providing a robust design that withstands a 1.8-meter fall. The lineup includes wireless models that relieve you from the hassle of cables and drastically improve workability.
