is an industrial non-contact displacement/measurement sensor designed to detect and measure the position or distance of objects with high precision. It belongs to the KEYENCE IG Series of measurement sensors used for automated inspection and positioning applications.
The sensor uses a laser-based optical measurement principle. A laser beam is directed toward the target surface, and the reflected light is analyzed by the sensor to determine the target's position or displacement. Because measurement is performed without physical contact, the sensor can be used for delicate, moving, or difficult-to-access components.
The IG-028 can be incorporated into automated production equipment where conventional contact-type sensors may cause wear, contamination, or damage. The measured signal can be supplied to a controller or machine-control system for monitoring, inspection, positioning, or process control.
Typical applications include checking height, thickness, position, presence, alignment, and dimensional variation of manufactured parts.
