Monochrome CMOS Sensor Head

The Keyence IV-HG500MA is a monochrome CMOS sensor head with a 1/3 inch imager and 752 by 480 pixel resolution. It offers automatic focus adjustment across an installed distance of 20 to 500 mm. The unit is rated IP67 for dust and water protection.

Suited for Machine Vision Inspection

This sensor head suits machine vision tasks needing variable working distances and automatic refocus in harsh environments. It is not for applications requiring colour imaging, higher resolution, or working distances beyond 500 mm.

1/3 Inch Monochrome CMOS Imager

The 1/3 inch monochrome CMOS sensor defines the resolution and light sensitivity for every inspection job. Buyers must confirm that 752 by 480 pixels meets their detection requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Which controller or vision system is required to operate the IV-HG500MA sensor head?

The IV-HG500MA is a sensor head only and must be connected to a compatible Keyence vision system controller to function; it cannot operate as a standalone device.

Will the IV-HG500MA mount and focus correctly on an existing Keyence vision system setup?

Yes, it uses the standard Keyence sensor-head mounting pattern and automatic focus over the 20 to 500 mm installed distance, so it fits existing brackets and focuses without manual adjustment.

How can I verify the IV-HG500MA is capturing images correctly after installation?

Check the controller's live view for a stable 752 x 480 monochrome image, confirm auto-focus locks within the 20 to 500 mm range, and ensure the IP67-rated housing shows no condensation or vibration-induced blur at 10 to 55 Hz.
