Keyence IG Series User Manual

Edge Control and
Positioning Mode
Outer Diameter/
Width Measurement Mode
Inner Diameter/
Gap Measurement Mode
The distance from the end of the measurement range to
the edge of a target is measured.
The outer diameter or width of a target
is measured.
The inner diameter of a target or a gap
between targets is measured.
EASY SETTING WITH THE APPLICATION MODES
Three major application modes
Edge Detection of Transparent Targets
Edge detection algorithm + glass edge mode
Five dedicated modes can be selected according to the application
Pin position
measurement mode
Pin pitch
judgment mode
Pin diameter
judgment mode
Specified edge-to-edge
distance measurement mode
Very parallel light +

Edge detection algorithm +
glass edge mode
Received-light waveform
The edge is enhanced
The measurement
sensitivity is
automatically
changed
Received light level
The edges of transparent objects
such as glass have low transparency
which decreases the amount of light
received. The IG Series detects edges
exploiting this nature and automatically
changes a measurement sensitivity
appropriately to detect a transparent
target.
The measurement area is automatically specified simply by selecting the mode.
