KEYENC IG028 Laser Sensor IG-028

The KEYENCE IG-028 Laser Sensor (IG Series) 

is a high-precision CCD-based laser micrometer designed for non-contact measurement and positioning in industrial automation systems. It uses a visible semiconductor laser (660 nm) combined with CCD detection technology to deliver accurate and stable measurements.

The IG-028 sensor head consists of a transmitter and receiver unit, forming a through-beam measurement system. When an object passes through the laser beam, the sensor detects its size, position, or presence with high accuracy.

It offers a measurement range of 28 mm and can be installed at distances up to 1500 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial measurement tasks. The sensor is capable of detecting very small objects (down to approx. 0.1 mm) and provides high repeatability (as low as 5 µm) depending on setup conditions.

With a fast sampling cycle (~980 µs), the IG-028 is ideal for high-speed production lines. Its rugged design with IP67 protection ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
