The IV Vision Sensor from Keyence combines some of the functionality of machine vision and traditional sensors into a single system. The IV can tackle difficult detection applications that previously required multiple conventional or proximity sensors to accomplish, according to Keyence.

The IV’s standard equipment includes high-intensity illumination, high–performance lenses and a selection of eight different sensor heads. The camera selection includes close-, medium- and long-range models to suit application requirements. The IV complies with the IP67 enclosure rating, which is based on IEC/JIS standards. It can be used safely in dusty or wet environments.The built-in features include automatic focus, automatic one-touch brightness adjustment, high-performance quad lens and Hi-R illumination.

The IV’s Navigator software can be used with any PC for quick setup. By following the steps on the screen, user setup is complete in less than a minute. A unique autotuning function enables automatic optimisation of threshold and parameters to further simplify and reduce setup time. Other features include output adjustment, remote operation, a statistics function and a pattern tool for stable detection.
