FAQ

What is the required controller for the IG-1050 sensor head?

The IG-1050 sensor head must be connected to a dedicated Keyence IG-1000 main display unit or IG-1500 communication unit to function. It cannot operate as a standalone device.

The IG-1050 offers high repeatability, typically around +/- 1 micrometre, making it suitable for applications requiring very tight tolerances. The overall accuracy depends on the setup and application.

Yes, the sensor head has an IP67 rating, which means it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water. For environments with heavy oil mist, using an optional air purge unit is recommended to keep the lens clean and ensure stable measurements.
