Keyence IV3-LG6M AI Illumination Unit Infrared LED

Keyence IV3-LG6M AI Imaging Illumination Unit

The Keyence IV3-LG6M is a specialized illumination accessory for the IV3 series vision sensor. Moreover, it functions as a side light unit that enhances image clarity during AI-driven inspections. This infrared LED unit mounts directly onto the IV3-G600MA sensor head without external power wiring. Additionally, its compact aluminum die-cast housing ensures durability in industrial environments.

Furthermore, the Keyence IV3-LG6M delivers consistent infrared illumination for accurate defect detection. First, the IR LED source produces stable lighting for demanding imaging tasks. Next, the unit draws power directly from the connected sensor, which simplifies installation. Besides, the IP67 rating protects against dust and water ingress when properly mounted.

Technical Specifications

The Keyence IV3-LG6M operates as a dedicated side illumination unit for the IV3-G600MA sensor head. For instance, the infrared LED light source provides uniform illumination across the field of view. Meanwhile, the unit requires no independent power supply because the sensor delivers all necessary power.

Besides, the IV3-LG6M contains no built-in communication ports or protocols. However, this design choice reduces complexity and cost for standard vision setups. The illumination unit weighs approximately 150 g, which maintains the lightweight profile of the sensor assembly.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing materials include aluminum die-casting and PBT for the main unit case. Specifically, the sensor head connector uses zinc with nickel plating and PA. Furthermore, the front cover consists of acrylic for optical clarity. The cable jacket combines PVC, nickel plating, and TPEE for flexibility and chemical resistance.

The Keyence IV3-LG6M operates within a temperature range of 0 to +50°C with no freezing permitted. In addition, the relative humidity range spans 35 to 85% RH without condensation. The IP67 protection rating applies only when the unit mounts to a compatible sensor. However, mounting a polarizing filter (OP-88644/OP-88645/OP-88646/OP-88647) voids this IP67 rating.

Installation Guide

Mounting the Keyence IV3-LG6M requires attaching it directly to the IV3-G600MA sensor head. First, align the connector on the illumination unit with the sensor head port. Next, secure the unit using the appropriate mounting screws and hardware. Additionally, verify that all connections are tight before applying power.

After installation, the sensor supplies power automatically to the IV3-LG6M illumination unit. Meanwhile, no additional cabling or external power source is necessary. Furthermore, the compact design allows the combined assembly to fit in tight spaces. Finally, test the illumination function through the sensor interface to confirm proper operation.
