KEYENCE IV2-G600MA Wide View Mono Sensor Head

Product Introduction

The KEYENCE IV2-G600MA is a wide field-of-view sensor head built for the IV2 Series vision system with built-in AI. This monochrome model connects to the IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier for reliable presence and difference detection. Its zinc die-cast housing contains a 1/3-inch monochrome CMOS sensor with 752 × 480 pixel resolution. Furthermore, the wide viewing angle covers large inspection areas without repeated repositioning. As a result, the unit suits packaging verification, component presence checks, and high-speed line inspection tasks.

Technical Specifications

The IV2-G600MA sensor head delivers a reference distance from 40 to 600 mm. At the closest installation distance of 40 mm, the field of view measures 42 (H) × 31 (V) mm. At the farthest distance of 600 mm, it expands to 550 (H) × 412 (V) mm. Meanwhile, the 1/3-inch monochrome CMOS image element captures 752 × 480 pixels for detailed grayscale analysis. The exposure time ranges from 1/50 to 1/50000 second to handle varying line speeds.

Illumination comes from a built-in infrared LED. Specifically, the lighting method uses pulse operation only, which supports short exposure at high speeds. The focus adjustment works automatically during setup, registering a distinct focus position for each program. In addition, two indicators on the unit provide consistent visual status feedback. All processing and output functions route through the connected amplifier, since the sensor head holds no standalone communication ports.

Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

The IV2-G600MA sensor head carries an IP67 enclosure rating against dust and water ingress. However, this rating excludes setups where operators mount the polarized light filter attachment (OP-87899/OP-87900/OP-87901) or the magnifying lens attachment (OP-87902). The unit operates within 0 to +50°C with no freezing allowed. Additionally, relative humidity must stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation.

For vibration resistance, the head withstands 10 to 55 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude for 2 hours across X, Y, and Z axes. Shock resistance reaches 500 m/s² applied 6 times in each of 3 directions. Both ratings exclude dome attachment configurations. The main unit case uses zinc die-casting, while the front cover employs hard-coated acrylic. The operation indicator cover consists of TPU material. Weight sits at approximately 75 g.

Installation Guide

First, mount the IV2-G600MA sensor head at the target inspection point using standard IV2 Series brackets. Next, connect the head to the IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier with the dedicated cable. Because the amplifier supplies all power, no separate supply wiring is necessary. After mounting, power on the amplifier and start the auto focus routine. The system then registers the best focus position for the current setup.

During operation, the auto focus function deactivates to preserve the registered setting. If the inspection target changes significantly, operators can register a new focus position through a different program. Finally, adjust the exposure time and lighting settings through the amplifier interface to match the surface and speed of the production line.

FAQ

Q1: What makes the IV2-G600MA different from the IV2-G300CA?
A: The IV2-G600MA uses a monochrome CMOS sensor with infrared LED and reaches 600 mm, while the IV2-G300CA is a color model limited to 300 mm.

Q2: Does the IV2-G600MA operate as a standalone unit?
A: No. This sensor head requires the IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier for power, image processing, and output functions.

Q3: Can I use the IV2-G600MA in wet environments?
A: The unit holds an IP67 rating under standard conditions. However, adding certain lens or filter attachments reduces that protection level.

Q4: How does the pulse lighting method benefit inspection?
A: Pulse lighting freezes fast-moving targets during short exposure, which reduces blur and improves detection stability on high-speed lines.

Q5: What shipping methods do you offer for this sensor head?
A: We ship worldwide via Fedex, UPS, and DHL with tracking available for all orders.
