Keyence IV-500MA Integrated Vision Sensor
Keyence IV-500MA is a monochrome integrated vision sensor from the IV Series. It offers auto focus and a standard distance range. The sensor is built for industrial inspection tasks. It combines a camera, light, and controller in one unit. This design saves space and simplifies wiring.
The IV-500MA uses a 1/3 inch monochrome CMOS sensor. It captures 752 x 480 pixel images. The built-in red LED provides pulse or DC lighting. You can switch lighting modes as needed. The unit supports up to 16 detection tools and 1 position adjustment tool. It stores 32 programs for flexible changeovers.
Keyence designed this sensor for reliable presence, shape, and color area checks. It works well in automotive, electronics, and packaging lines. The IP67 rating protects it from dust and water. The aluminum die-cast case adds durability. This sensor is active in production as of 2026.
