A broad spectrum

Color & Contrast sensors

Highlights

  • Efficient part detection
  • Accurate and high-speed detection of the subtlest differences in color and grey values as well as non-colors
  • Accurate and fast printing mark detection
  • Numerous outputs and interfaces for easy integration in machine control systems
  • IO-Link sensors can be operated in IO-Link mode or standard I/O mode

The FT 55-CM color sensor in compact design is particularly versatile. It offers excellent color detection even on difficult surfaces and can, for example, sort objects very reliably by color.

Die Hauptaufgabe des RGB-Farbsensors FT 25-C ist die Detektion einer vordefinierten Farbe. Mit seiner hohen Schaltfrequenz von 10 kHz ist er auch in sehr schnell getakteten Anwendungen, beispielsweise zur Detektion von Druckmarken, einsetzbar.

Color & contrast sensors

The attachment of color marks that are then evaluated with a color or contrast sensor is a proven method for identifying objects in industrial production. Even objects with differing shapes and surface properties can be very reliably detected in this way.

Color sensors
  • Sorting packaging or checking different labels
  • Detecting colors and color ranges on packaging and film
Contrast sensors
  • Detecting printing marks with the subtlest variations in grey values in the printing and packaging industry
  • Checking labels and stickers in the printing industry
Luminescence sensors
  • Detecting labels on glass bottles
  • Detecting invisible printing marks for object alignment

Our highlights for color detection 

Full-spectrum color sensor with glare suppression

The FT 55-CM color sensor offers a scope of functions and level of user-comfort that are unsurpassed in its performance class. The wide operating range – independent of distance – combined with the flexible color detection feature gives a diverse range of applications. CM-1 has an integrated polarizing filter that is perfectly suited for shiny surfaces.

Full-spectrum color sensor with small lightspot

The FT 55-CM color sensor offers a scope of functions and level of user-comfort that are unsurpassed in its performance class. The wide operating range – independent of distance – combined with the flexible color detection feature gives a diverse range of applications. CM-3 is the ideal solution when a small slight spot is required, e.g. for contrast mark detection.

Full-spectrum color sensor with a high range

The FT 55-CM color sensor offers a scope of functions and level of user-comfort that are unsurpassed in its performance class. The wide operating range – independent of distance – combined with the flexible color detection feature gives a diverse range of applications. If the sensor is to be installed
at longer distances from the object, CM-4 offers a vast operating range of up to 150 mm.

RGB color sensor in miniature housing

The FT 25-C can identify any color in the visible spectrum including all the “non-colors” and also very reliably detects the smallest of color differences.

The small color expert

The FT 25-W is a white light contrast sensor for the detection of most minimal contrast levels, enabling reliable operation even with fluttering and shiny objects.
