Keyence LR-W500C full-spectrum colour sensor

The Keyence LR-W500C is a full-spectrum photoelectric colour sensor head designed for industrial detection tasks. It suits engineers and system integrators who need reliable colour discrimination on production lines.

Detection headroom with 2-unit calibration

The sensor head supports a 2-point calibration routine that establishes a stable reference for target colours. It comfortably handles consistent material streams but reaches its limit when surface texture or ambient light varies beyond the calibrated envelope.

Full-spectrum sensing decides the fit

Full-spectrum detection is the single specification that determines whether this head matches the application. It captures broad wavelength data for accurate colour identification, so buyers needing narrow-band or single-wavelength sensing should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the LR-W500C head fit on my existing amplifier unit?

The LR-W500C is a sensor head designed to connect to a compatible Keyence amplifier; verify the amplifier model in your system matches the head's connector and specification requirements.

How can I confirm the LR-W500C is detecting colours correctly after installation?

Run the amplifier's teach or calibration routine with known colour targets and monitor the output indicators or digital values to verify the full-spectrum detection responds as expected.

Does the LR-W500C package include the amplifier and mounting bracket?

The LR-W500C is supplied as the sensor head only; a compatible Keyence amplifier unit and any mounting hardware must be purchased separately.
