• ESD safety: complies with IEC61340-5-1

Physical Build and Materials

• Main unit case: zinc die-casting for durability
• Front cover: acrylic
• Operation indicator cover: TPU
• Weight: about 75 g without the AI imaging illumination unit and about 225 g with it
• Dimensions: not available

Communication and Amplifier Integration

• The head has no built-in ports and no standalone protocols
• It connects to the IV4-G120 amplifier through a dedicated sensor head cable
• All communication expansion runs through the IV4-G120 amplifier
• This design keeps the head small and moves signal handling to the amplifier

Installation Guide

• Mount the IV4-G600CA at a distance of 50 mm or more from the target
• Confirm the field of view for your distance; the view grows from 51 x 38 mm at 50 mm to 2730 x 2044 mm at 3000 mm
• Connect the dedicated sensor head cable to the IV4-G120 amplifier before powering on
• Let the auto focus handle sharpness; you only need to set the exposure time between 12 µs and 9 ms
• Choose pulse or continuous lighting based on your line speed and target motion
• Keep the unit within 0 to +50°C and below 85% RH without condensation
• Avoid installing polarizing filters if you need the IP67 rating

FAQ

• Q: What is the difference between the IV4-G600CA and other IV4 heads?
  A: This model is a compact color head with a wide field of view. It covers larger targets than the standard field models.
• Q: Which amplifier does this sensor head work with?
  A: It works with the Keyence IV4-G120 amplifier. The amplifier supplies power and handles all outputs.
• Q: What field of view can I expect?
  A: You get 51 x 38 mm at 50 mm distance and up to 2730 x 2044 mm at 3000 mm distance as reference values.
• Q: Does the IV4-G600CA have a built-in output?
  A: No. Outputs run through the connected IV4-G120 amplifier, not from the head itself.
• Q: What is the exposure time range?
  A: The exposure time ranges from 12 µs to 9 ms, which covers fast moving and slower targets.
• Q: Is the sensor head waterproof?
  A: Yes, it carries an IP67 rating. However, the rating does not apply when you install certain polarizing filters.
• Q: How much does the IV4-G600CA weigh?
  A: It weighs about 75 g without the AI imaging illumination unit and about 225 g with it.
• Q: What is the lead time and shipping method?
  A: We keep stock and ship within 5 days by FedEx, UPS, or DHL. We accept returns within 30 days.
