Color Sensors

Color sensors operate by sensing the reflected light of internal RGB LED (red, green, blue) illuminators and comparing the reflected light with the illumination light to derive a high quality, high confidence signal corresponding to the actual color of the object being detected. Repeatability and/or deviation from a specific value are key elements to this sensors use in process control. Variations of this sensor use a Halogen or tungsten light source or external illumination. Applications include, fruit sorting based on color, textile, or thread identification, color verification of self-illuminating objects, etc.

Available in Sequential RGB source configuration, or without source illumination for binning applications such as LEDs or incandescent sources.
