KEYENCE IL-2000 Laser Sensor Head

IL-2000 Analog Sensor | Keyence IL Series

Product Introduction

The IL-2000 is a long-distance laser sensor head within the Keyence IL Series. Specifically, it targets displacement and profile measurement across a 1000 to 3500 mm working range. A visible red semiconductor laser handles alignment, which simplifies mounting and setup.

Additionally, the head delivers fast sampling rates down to 0.33 ms. Consequently, it suits inline inspection on moving production lines. Meanwhile, the IP67 enclosure supports deployment in dusty or splash-prone areas.

Technical Specifications

Measurement Performance

The IL-2000 offers a reference distance of 2000 mm (78.74"). Its measurement range spans 1000 to 3500 mm, or 39.37" to 137.80". Linearity reaches ±0.16% of full scale across that entire span. Moreover, repeatability sits at 100 µm for stable, repeatable readings.

Light Source

A red semiconductor laser provides the light source. Its wavelength is 655 nm, which falls within the visible spectrum. Output power measures 560 µW. Furthermore, the laser carries Class 2 certification under both FDA (CDRH) Part 1040.10 and IEC 60825-1.

Spot and Sampling

At standard distance, the spot diameter measures approximately 1400 × 7000 µm. Sampling rate offers four selectable levels: 0.33, 1, 2, and 5 ms. Therefore, users can trade speed against stability depending on the application.

Status Indicators

Three LED indicators report operating status. A green LED signals laser emission warning. An orange LED shows analog range status. Meanwhile, a red and green LED marks the reference distance position.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

Temperature Behavior

Temperature characteristics measure 0.016% of F.S. per °C. This specification matters for high-precision work in fluctuating plant environments. Therefore, allow warm-up time before critical measurements.

Environmental Resistance

The IL-2000 holds an IP67 enclosure rating and pollution degree 3. It tolerates incandescent ambient light up to 10,000 lux. Operating temperature ranges from -10 to +50°C with no condensation or freezing. Relative humidity must stay between 35 and 85% RH.

Vibration and Materials

Vibration resistance covers 10 to 55 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude. The unit withstands two hours in each of the X, Y, and Z directions. Housing material is PBT, while metal parts use SUS304. The packing is NBR, the lens cover is glass, and the cable is PVC.

Weight

The sensor head weighs approximately 350 g. Accordingly, standard mounting brackets handle it without reinforcement.

Installation Guide

First, position the IL-2000 so the target sits within the 1000 to 3500 mm range. Next, secure the housing using the mounting holes and a stable bracket. After that, connect the cable to the compatible IL Series amplifier or controller.

Then, power the system and check the laser emission warning LED. Subsequently, align the red spot onto the target surface using the visible beam. Finally, set the sampling rate and verify readings against a known reference.
