The colour makes the difference
In industrial processes with a high degree of automation, colour often is a selection criterion for the recognition, sorting or checking different goods and products. The colour of the products themselves as well as of packaging, labels or imprints can be precisely detected using electronic colour sensors.

Easy set-up
The sensor is set to the colour to be detected with one push of the button. With five selectable tolerance steps, even slightest differences in colour shades as compared to the background or other objects can be distinguished. The autodetect output stage automatically sets the switching output of the sensor to PNP or NPN operation.

Applications:
Detection of colour marks or sorting tasks in the packaging, paper and printing industries.
