Keyence VS-L500MX


Key Product Advantages

1. Uniform High-Brightness Illumination

The VS-L500MX adopts Keyence's exclusive micro-optical diffusion coating technology, which achieves uniform surface illumination with a brightness consistency of more than 92%, effectively avoiding local overexposure or underexposure caused by uneven light sources.

Even when matched with 12-megapixel high-resolution industrial cameras, it can output clear edge contour images, which is especially suitable for microscopic defect detection of small precision parts.

2. Floating Structure Design

Unlike traditional fixed coaxial light sources, the Keyence VS-L500MX adopts a spring floating structural design, which can automatically adjust the distance between the light source surface and the measured object according to the shape of the workpiece, effectively reducing specular reflection.

This design also eliminates the need for manual repeated adjustment of the light source position after equipment replacement.

3. Long-life Stable LED Chip Guarantee

The product uses high-power industrial-grade LED chips with a designed service life of more than 50,000 hours.

Even under continuous 24-hour high-load working conditions, it can maintain stable brightness output for a long time, with a brightness attenuation of less than 5% within 3 years of use.


VS-L500MX vs. Other Common Keyence Light Source Models: The Differences

In order to help users quickly select the appropriate light source product for different inspection scenarios, we sort out the core differences between VS-L500MX and other common models of Keyence VS series as follows:


Model

Light Source Type

Effective Size

Core Applicable Scenarios

Price Difference vs VS-L500MX

VS-L500MX

Floating coaxial light

48×48mm

High-gloss surface defect detection, chip pin positioning, small part outline inspection

Benchmark

VS-L500F

Fixed coaxial flat light

48×48mm

Low-gloss surface normal inspection, non-metallic material scanning

Approximately 15% lower

VS-L300MX

Floating coaxial light

28×28mm

Micro-miniature parts inspection, small size vision module integration

Approximately 25% lower

VS-B500MX

Floating backlight

48×48mm

Contour dimension measurement, through hole detection, appearance size sorting

Approximately 10% higher

VS-L500WX

Floating coaxial white light

48×48mm

Color difference identification, appearance color sorting, multi-feature comprehensive inspection

Approximately 20% higher


From the comparison, it can be seen that VS-L500MX is a medium-sized, balanced performance product in the Keyence floating coaxial light product line, which covers most of the conventional precision inspection requirements, and has a higher cost performance than the large-size and color light models, while having a wider applicable range than the small-size fixed-structure models.


Recommended Matching Solutions for Different Application Scenarios

According to the actual application experience of thousands of production lines, we provide the following matching recommendations for Keyence VS-L500MX, which can be selected according to your inspection needs:

1. Semiconductor Chip Appearance Defect Inspection

· Recommended matching: VS-L500MX + Keyence CV-X350F controller + CA-HX200C 20-megapixel camera

· Advantages: The uniform illumination of VS-L500MX can clearly present tiny scratches, sticky materials and pin deformation defects on the chip surface, and the floating structure avoids reflection interference of the metal lead frame, which can achieve 100% full inspection of 0.5μm level defects.

2. Mobile Phone Glass Cover Plate Scratch Inspection

· Recommended matching: 2 sets of VS-L500MX side-mounted + Keyence XG-X2000 controller + CA-LH16 lens

· Advantages: The adjustable distance floating design adapts to the radian of the curved glass cover, the coaxial light can amplify the contrast of tiny scratches on the high-gloss glass surface, and the dual light source layout eliminates the detection blind area at the edge of the cover plate.

3. Automotive Precision Connector Pin Positioning Detection

· Recommended matching: VS-L500MX + Keyence CA-DC21E power controller + CA-200M black and white camera

· Advantages: The stable brightness output meets the high-speed beat requirements of the automatic assembly line, the uniform light can clearly present the gap and position deviation of the connector pins, and the high compatibility with Keyence's own controller reduces the system integration debugging time by more than 30%.

4. Large Size Workpiece Multi-point Inspection

· Recommended matching: Multiple VS-L500MX + expansion mounting bracket + unified CA-DC40E power distribution

· Advantages: Modular layout can cover large workpieces of different sizes, the consistency of each light source parameter ensures the unification of inspection standards, and the unified power supply control facilitates system management.
