Keyence IV3-G600CA Vision Sensor Head

Product Introduction

The IV3-G600CA is a compact color sensor head from the Keyence IV3 Series. It works exclusively with the IV3-G120 amplifier and targets applications that demand wide-area color inspection. Specifically, this model combines a wide field of view with a 1/2.9-inch color CMOS image sensor.

Technical Specifications

The image receiving element is a 1/2.9-inch color CMOS sensor. Moreover, it delivers a resolution of 1280 (H) × 960 (V) pixels. The auto focus function adjusts the focal position automatically, which shortens setup time on the line.

The exposure time spans 12 μs to 9 ms. In addition, the IV3-G600CA relies on a white LED light source. Furthermore, the lighting method supports pulse and continuous lighting in switchable modes, giving engineers flexibility across different target surfaces.

Key Specifications

Field of View

The wide-view optics cover a broad inspection area. For instance, at an installation distance of 50 mm, the field of view measures 51 (H) × 38 (V) mm. Besides, at 3000 mm, the coverage expands to 2730 (H) × 2044 (V) mm. Therefore, one head can handle both close-up and long-range detection tasks.

Communication and Electrical Notes

The head has no built-in ports or protocols of its own. Instead, it connects to the IV3-G120 amplifier through a dedicated cable. Similarly, power comes from the connected amplifier, and all outputs route through the same amplifier. As a result, system wiring stays simple and centralized.

Environmental and Mechanical Parameters

The IV3-G600CA is engineered for demanding factory floors. Its zinc die-cast housing resists mechanical stress and everyday wear.

Protection and Durability

The unit carries an IP67 enclosure rating for dust and water resistance. However, this rating does not apply when a polarizing filter is mounted. The operating temperature range is 0 to +50°C with no freezing. Meanwhile, relative humidity tolerance sits at 35 to 85% RH with no condensation.

Vibration and Shock

Vibration resistance covers 10 to 55 Hz at a double amplitude of 1.5 mm, for two hours in each of the X, Y, and Z directions. Additionally, shock resistance reaches 500 m/s², tested three times in each of six directions. Both figures exclude setups where a dome attachment is mounted.

Physical Characteristics

The main unit case uses zinc die-casting. The front cover is acrylic, and the operation indicator cover is TPU. Weight comes in at roughly 75 g without the AI Lighting unit and 225 g with it.

Installation Guide

Installing the IV3-G600CA starts with mounting the head at the target distance. First, secure the bracket so the lens faces the inspection zone. Next, run the dedicated cable to the IV3-G120 amplifier. After that, power on the system and let auto focus settle. Finally, select pulse or continuous lighting and tune the inspection settings through the amplifier.
