Keyence IV2-G500MA Monochrome Camera Head

Keyence IV2-G500MA Sensor Head

Product Introduction

The Keyence IV2-G500MA is a sensor head in the IV2 Series lineup. It pairs with the IV2-G30 and IV2-G30F amplifiers through a dedicated cable. This monochrome model uses a 1/3 inch CMOS sensor with 752 x 480 pixels. Furthermore, it supports auto focus and a wide exposure range from 1/10 to 1/50000.

The head works at reference distances from 20 mm to 500 mm. At 20 mm, the field of view measures 10 x 7.5 mm. At 500 mm, it expands to 200 x 150 mm. Meanwhile, a white LED provides illumination in pulse or DC mode. As a result, the unit adapts to many inspection setups.

Technical Specifications

The image receiving element is a 1/3 inch monochrome CMOS sensor. It captures 752 x 480 pixels for grayscale imaging. Focus adjustment is automatic, which shortens changeover time. The IV2-G500MA relies on its amplifier for power, outputs, and communication.

The head has no built-in ports or protocols of its own. Specifically, it links to the IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier via a dedicated cable. All outputs and network functions pass through that amplifier. Therefore, system capability depends on the paired amplifier model.

Electrical and Environmental Data

Supply voltage comes from the connected amplifier, not from a separate source. Power consumption figures are not published for the head alone. Outputs also route through the amplifier rather than the head.

The operating temperature range is 0 to +50°C without freezing. Relative humidity must stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. The protection rating is IP67, except when a polarized light filter or magnifying lens attachment is mounted. Vibration resistance covers 10 to 55 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude.

Mechanical Data

The main unit case uses zinc die-casting for rigidity. The front cover is acrylic with a hard coat for scratch resistance. The operation indicator cover uses TPU. Weight is approximately 75 g, which suits robot arms and moving fixtures.

Shock resistance reaches 500 m/s², six times in each of three directions. This applies except when a dome attachment is mounted. Moreover, the compact body allows flexible mounting in tight spaces. The head also tolerates the vibration common on production lines.

Installation Guide

First, mount the head at a position within the 20 to 500 mm reference range. Next, connect the dedicated cable to the IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier. Then, power the amplifier and let the head initialize. After that, adjust the field of view and focus through the amplifier interface.

Meanwhile, confirm that the supply and wiring match the amplifier requirements. Besides, avoid mounting a polarized filter if IP67 protection is required. For stable images, keep the target inside the working distance. Finally, lock the bracket and verify repeatability with test parts.
