Who is KEYENCE and what does it make?

KEYENCE is a Japanese manufacturer of sensors, machine vision systems, code readers and measuring equipment, headquartered in Osaka and active since 1974. For Europe, the catalogue is handled by KEYENCE International (Belgium), based in Mechelen. The range is organised into clear families: photoelectric and laser sensors, measuring sensors, vision systems, barcode readers and safety light curtains.

In practice, the series are easy to recognise by their prefix. In the laser area, LR-X detects the target by position and not by light intensity, so the result does not depend on colour or surface finish, and LR-T is the reflective version. In vision, CV-X is the system with an icon-based interface, XG-X offers 3D and linescan capabilities, and VS-G is a customisable platform with dedicated storage for traceability. In codes, SR-X is the series with artificial intelligence, ST is the scanning tunnel for logistics, and HR-X is the handheld reader with IP65/67G protection. Safety light curtains include GL-R and SL-V.

The value lies in series that are compatible with each other, but for replacements the exact code of the sensor or controller matters, because KEYENCE has withdrawn older series (for example LB in laser sensors). On an order, the suffix in the code indicates the output type, the connector or the cable length, so an incomplete code does not allow the part to be identified reliably.

What do we supply from the KEYENCE range?

Product	Description
Laser sensors (LR-X, LR-T, LR-Z, IL, LV-N)	LR-X is an ultra-compact laser sensor with a metal housing and stainless steel for the food industry. LR-T is reflective, LR-Z uses the U.C.D. function for transparent, metallic or dark targets, and IL is the series of analogue displacement sensors.
Vision systems (CV-X, XG-X, VS-G)	CV-X is an inspection system with icon-based tools, XG-X adds flexible programming and 3D and linescan capabilities, and VS-G is a customisable platform with a multi-core processor and storage for traceability.
Code readers (SR-X, SR-5000, HR-X)	SR-X is the reader based on artificial intelligence, SR-5000 is aimed at logistics, with a wide field of view, and HR-X is the rugged handheld reader. ST is the scanning tunnel for parcel flows.
Profilometers and safety curtains (LJ, GL-R, SL-V)	The LJ series comprises laser profilometers for 2D/3D measurement. GL-R is a robust light curtain, and SL-V is a safety curtain designed for visibility. The full code also includes the variant suffixes.

Why KEYENCE?

LR-X laser sensors independent of colour and surface — detection by position, not light intensity, reduces adjustments on glossy or dark parts
CV-X, XG-X and VS-G vision systems — from icon-based setup to 3D and linescan inspection, in the same family
SR-X code readers with artificial intelligence — with a body 72% smaller than conventional models
HR-X handheld readers — housing with IP65/67G protection, for warehouses and dusty halls
GL-R and SL-V safety curtains — GL-R has the lens recessed in an impact-resistant housing

How do we supply KEYENCE in Romania?

We can prepare quotations for KEYENCE sensors, vision systems, code readers and safety curtains, within the series available to order. Supply goes through import or EU channels, on order, usually in 1–4 weeks; some items arrive in 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier. For configured vision systems, the lead time can be longer. To prepare the quotation, send us the full code of the sensor or controller (for example LR-X or CV-X), the supply voltage, the output type and the application.

We establish equivalence between withdrawn and current series on the basis of the full code, with checking by the supplier, and software configuration of vision systems is the integrator's responsibility.

Frequently asked questions about KEYENCE

What products does KEYENCE deal with?

KEYENCE makes photoelectric and laser sensors, profilometers and measuring sensors, vision systems (CV-X, XG-X, VS-G), barcode readers (SR-X, HR-X, SR-5000) and safety light curtains (GL-R, SL-V). The company was founded in 1974 and is headquartered in Osaka.

How do I choose a KEYENCE laser sensor?

It depends on what has to be detected. LR-X detects by position and ignores surface colour, LR-Z has the U.C.D. function for transparent or metallic targets, and IL provides an analogue displacement output. Send us the target material, the distance and the output type required.

Can you supply KEYENCE sensors and vision systems in Romania, and within what lead time?

For KEYENCE, orders are usually fulfilled in 1–4 weeks, and items available locally or at the supplier can arrive in 24–72 h. Configured vision systems can have a longer lead time, confirmed in the quotation.

Can I replace an old KEYENCE sensor with one from the current series?

Some older series have been withdrawn, for example LB in laser sensors, and the successor does not always have the same dimensions or outputs. We do not state an equivalence without checking. Send us the full code from the sensor, the connector type and the supply voltage.

What data do you need for a quotation on a code reader or a vision system?

The code type (1D, 2D or DPM), the line speed, the reading distance, the minimum module size and the working environment. For vision, add the part to be inspected and the feature checked; XG-X, for example, fits when 3D or linescan is needed.

How do I request a KEYENCE quotation?

Send the KEYENCE code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
