Color sensors
CS8

Your Benefits

  • Identify and store up to four colors. No need to reprogram the sensor for changeovers, reducing downtime.
  • High resolution colors can be matched exactly for better process reliability
  • Maintains the extreme precision of the light spot, enabling a consistent object detection
  • A bar graph display provides information about the color quality and detection reliability, ensuring simple process monitoring
  • Broad spectrum of color tolerances enables more flexible use
  • Fast response times at high speeds for reliable detection
  • Detection reliability is not affected by varying temperatures

Overview

The ability to teach up to four colors can lead to faster changeovers and shorter downtime. The CS8 series offers high switching speeds – as fast as 6 kHz (85 µsec) – enabling higher throughput. And, the sensor maintains the extreme precision of the lightspot; this sharp, well-defined spot provides tighter process control and more consistent object detection. A bar graph display enables easy setup and provides information about the color quality and detection reliability.
