LR-W500 Keyence 2m Cable Type Sensor – White LED, 30 to 500 mm Range
LR-W500 from Keyence is a white LED cable type sensor. It detects targets from 30 to 500 mm. The spot size changes with distance. Pick from five response times down to 200 µs. The zinc die cast body meets IP65/IP67. This sensor handles fast lines, mixed colors, and wet areas.
- Core Strength: White LED sees color and shine changes better than red light.
- Core Strength: Adjustable spot dial fits tiny or large targets.
- Core Strength: IP67 sealed housing survives dust, water, and washdown.

Manager’s Insight
Manager’s Insight: The LR-W500 solves a real headache. Red lasers struggle with shiny or colored parts. White LED handles both. The 200 µs mode catches fast conveyor items. The zinc die cast case takes hits and vibration. IP67 means less cleaning downtime. I recommend it for packaging, electronics, and auto lines. Skip it outdoors unless you add a shade.
Best Fit Equipment and Applications
- Conveyor part detection
- Packaging and labeling machines
- Electronics assembly lines
- Automotive part presence checks
- Food and beverage fill levels
- Keyence amplifier and controller systems
FAQ
Q: How do I choose a response time?
A: Use 200 µs for fast parts. Use 500 ms for stable reads on slow lines.
Q: Can two LR-W500 units run side by side?
A: Yes. Set alternate frequencies. Up to 2 units can work close together.
Q: What is the smallest target I can detect?
A: The spot is ø3.5 mm at 100 mm. Move closer for smaller objects.
Q: How do I clean the sensor safely?
A: Wipe the PMMA lens with a soft dry cloth. Skip solvents and abrasives.
Q: What should I check before buying?
A: Confirm cable length, output type (NPN or PNP), and voltage. Check bracket fit too.
