Full-spectrum color sensor

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. The large integrated LCD display and remote configuration via SensoVisual and IO-Link set new standards in ease of use and connectivity. This unique combination of characteristics makes the sensor ideally suited for challenging color detection and sorting tasks, for example in machine construction and in the automotive, plastics, pharmaceutical or packaging industries..

  High precision for a diverse range of applications

  The number of potential applications for the FT 55-CM is virtually unlimited:

  • Inspection of car fuses–color and material
  • Inspection of shiny blister packs
  • Distinguishing between polished and non-polished metal surfaces
  • Foil detection on shiny surfaces
  • Inspection of lids or labels.

  The right version for every application

  The new generation of color sensors exists in a total of six versions, carefully adapted to different applications:

  • FT 55-CM-1 has an integrated polarizing filter that is perfectly suited for shiny surfaces.
  • FT 55-CM-3 is the ideal solution when a small slight spot is required, e.g. for contrast mark detection.
  • FT 55-CM-4 offers a vast operating range of up to 150 mm.
