Keyence IV3-G600CA Vision Sensor Head
The Keyence IV3-G600CA is a compact color sensor head for the IV3-G120 amplifier. It offers a wide field of view, a 1/2.9-inch color CMOS sensor, and switchable pulse or continuous white LED lighting.
Product Introduction
The IV3-G600MA is a compact monochrome sensor head from the Keyence IV3 Series. It operates exclusively with the IV3-G120 amplifier and targets wide-area inspection tasks. Specifically, this model pairs a wide field of view with a 1/2.9-inch monochrome CMOS image sensor.
Technical Specifications
The image receiving element is a 1/2.9-inch monochrome CMOS sensor. Moreover, it captures images at 1280 (H) × 960 (V) pixels. The auto focus system 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-G600MA uses an infrared LED light source. Furthermore, the lighting method is pulse lighting, which suits high-speed inspection cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value |

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-G600MA 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-G600MA 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, configure the inspection parameters through the amplifier interface.
