Honeywell OrbitCG 7180 Omnidirectional Laser Scanner

The Honeywell OrbitCG 7180 is an omnidirectional hands-free laser barcode scanner designed for retail and point-of-sale environments where fast scanning, compact dimensions, and precise menu scanning capabilities are essential. Building on the successful Orbit 7120 platform, the OrbitCG 7180 adds Honeywell’s patented CodeGate™ technology, allowing users to target a specific barcode and transmit the data only after pressing a button. This feature is especially useful in menu scanning, ticket validation, document handling, and applications where multiple barcodes are positioned close together. The scanner features a powerful 20-line omnidirectional laser scan pattern that enables rapid barcode capture from virtually any orientation. With a scanning speed of up to 1120 scan lines per second, the OrbitCG 7180 provides fast and efficient barcode reading in demanding retail environments. For applications requiring greater precision, the scanner can switch to a button-activated single-line scanning mode operating at 56 scan lines per second, helping operators select individual barcodes accurately. Its compact and lightweight construction makes the OrbitCG 7180 ideal for retail counters where space is limited, including convenience stores, pharmacies, specialty retail, kiosks, and ticketing applications. The award-winning housing design also supports occasional handheld operation, allowing users to scan larger or bulky items with ease. The adjustable scanning head can tilt up to 30 degrees for improved ergonomics and easier scanning of products with different sizes and shapes. An integrated RF EAS antenna is available on the OrbitCG 7180, enabling simultaneous barcode scanning and electronic article surveillance tag deactivation, helping improve checkout efficiency and reduce transaction times. The OrbitCG 7180 supports standard 1D and GS1 DataBar barcode symbologies and integrates easily into existing POS infrastructures through USB, RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, and IBM RS485 interfaces. Honeywell MetroSelect™ and MetroSet™ 2 configuration tools simplify setup, firmware updates, scanner management, and long-term system compatibility. Designed for reliable retail operation, the scanner withstands drops from up to 1.2 meters and features sealed construction resistant to airborne contaminants commonly found in commercial environments. With its combination of omnidirectional scanning, precise CodeGate targeting, optional EAS integration, and compact ergonomic design, the Honeywell OrbitCG 7180 is an efficient and flexible solution for modern retail checkout systems.
