With its high color resolution and an innovative teach-in method, the new CSS High Resolution color sensor can even distinguish between fine color nuances. It also detects color gradients and structured materials like wood. Besides sensing distances of up to 500 mm, the CSS High Resolution comes with an automatic sensing distance regulation feature: The CSS High Resolution detects colors precisely even at changing distances and with varying object sizes. Furthermore, the full color TFT sensor display shows color values (L*a*b or RGB) as well as the similarity of a detected color to a taught-in color. Up to 24 colors per identification task (job) can be transferred via the IO-Link interface and saved externally. Thanks to an application-specific setup assistant, the sensor can be quickly installed via the SOPAS software.
