IV-500CA Keyence Integrated Vision Sensor, Standard Distance, Color, Auto Focus
IV-500CA is a compact integrated vision sensor from the Keyence IV Series. It handles standard distance inspection from 50 to 500 mm. The color CMOS sensor captures 752 x 480 pixels. Auto focus removes manual lens setup. Pulse and DC lighting modes switch on the fly. The IP67 body suits washdown areas and tight machine cells.
This sensor targets engineers who need stable color inspection without a separate camera box. The IV Series platform keeps wiring simple. One M12 connector carries power, I/O, and Ethernet. Setup runs through the same tool set used across the IV line. That reduces spare parts and training time on multi-machine lines.

Oiltech Controls Review and Insight
Oiltech Controls’s Insight: the IV-500CA earns its place when a line needs color decisions but has no room for a separate controller. Auto focus cuts commissioning time. The 32-program memory helps with frequent product changes. The IP67 housing tolerates washdown and coolant mist. Engineers should watch two limits. First, the polarized filter option drops the IP67 rating. Second, the IV-D10 dome attachment voids the vibration and shock figures. Plan mounting accordingly.
Oiltech Controls Review: Who Should Buy
- Plants already running IV Series sensors
- Integrators replacing failed color vision units
- Maintenance teams supporting legacy Keyence cells
- Machine builders needing quick 24 VDC vision fit
- Buyers who want tested surplus with warranty cover
FAQ
Q: Does the IV-500CA need a separate controller?
A: No. It is a standalone sensor. Power, I/O, and Ethernet run through one M12 connector.
Q: How do I pick between pulse and DC lighting?
A: Use pulse mode for fast moving parts. Use DC mode for static or slow targets.
Q: What field of view do I get at 500 mm?
A: You get 210 (H) x 157 (V) mm. At 50 mm the view drops to 25 (H) x 18 (V) mm.
Q: Can it talk to my PLC over PROFINET?
A: Yes. The sensor supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and FTP client.
Q: What should I check before ordering a used unit?
A: Confirm lens condition, M12 pin integrity, and IP67 seals. Ask for a bench test record. Oiltech Controls verifies function before shipment. For stock and lead time, email info@oiltechcontrols.com or message +86 158 8020 0923.
