The IV-G500CA is a standard sensor head designed for the Keyence IV-G10 amplifier. This color model handles inspection tasks across 20 to 500 mm working distances. Its auto focus system removes manual adjustment work from the setup process. Furthermore, the built-in white LED illumination supports both pulse and DC lighting modes.
The Keyence IV-G500CA uses a 1/3 inch color CMOS image sensor. It captures images at 752 (H) x 480 (V) pixels. The field of view changes with the installed distance. Specifically, at 20 mm the view measures 10 x 7.5 mm, while at 500 mm it expands to 200 x 150 mm.
Because it is a color type head, this model detects color differences as well as shapes. All detection tools run through the connected IV-G10 amplifier.
The IV-G500CA does not include built-in network ports. Instead, it connects to the IV-G10 amplifier through a dedicated cable. All protocols, including FTP client, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET, run through the amplifier.
The unit receives its supply voltage from the connected amplifier. Power consumption figures are not published separately. Likewise, outputs route through the amplifier rather than the head itself.
Keyence does not publish dimensions for this sensor head. The unit weighs approximately 75 g, which suits mounting on robot arms and compact fixtures.
Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +50°C without freezing. Relative humidity should stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. The protection rating reaches IP67 for washdown and dusty environments.
First, mount the IV-G500CA at the desired distance using a compatible bracket. Next, connect the dedicated cable between the head and the IV-G10 amplifier. Then, let the auto focus system lock onto the target automatically.
After that, select pulse or DC lighting based on your application speed. Finally, configure the inspection tools through the IV-H1 software or IV-M30 monitor.

1x Quick Start Guide
Q1: What is the working distance of the IV-G500CA?
A: The installed distance ranges from 20 to 500 mm. The view size changes accordingly from 10 x 7.5 mm to 200 x 150 mm.
Q2: Does the Keyence IV-G500CA need a separate controller?
A: Yes, it requires the IV-G10 amplifier. The head carries no network ports or outputs of its own.
Q3: What advantage does the color sensor offer?
A: The color CMOS sensor detects color differences in addition to shapes. This suits inspections where hue or tint matters.
Q4: How does auto focus benefit my application?
A: Auto focus removes manual adjustment work. It locks onto targets quickly across the full 20 to 500 mm range.
Q5: What is the protection rating of the IV-G500CA?
A: The rating is IP67. This allows use in washdown and dusty production environments.
