Contrast and color sensors in industrial processes Contrast and color sensors are becoming increasingly important in the automation of procedures and manufacturing processes in industry and manufacturing. In practice, the possible applications are almost unlimited. They range from the identification or sorting of colored objects to the inspection of colored surfaces. In many cases, the recognition criterion color is already integrated in the material flow object. If not, it can simply be applied. Color recognition systems are more reliable and more powerful than the human eye, because they do not recognize errors caused by fatigue, subjective color evaluation and too slow reaction time.

Colour recognition sensors of the colorSENSOR series are applied to colour detection applications. The sensors compare the current colour of the measured object with the
target colours that were set up via the sensor’s Teach-In function. colorSENSOR LT sensors operate using optical fibres directly on the target object, which therefore minimises any adverse environmental effects on measurements. The colour sensor can be placed at a safe distance using highly developed fibre optics close to the target object.
The colorSENSOR OT series enables measurements at longer distances by means of fixed optics. The new non-contact colour measurement system, colorCONTROL ACS7000, detects slightest colour differences (ΔE < 0.08) with measurement frequencies of up to 2000Hz.The sensors are applied in a wide range of applications, including automation
technology, packaging systems for pharmaceuticals, quality assurance, painting technology, surface labelling and printing technology. The LED Analyzer colorCONTROLMFA provides function, colour and intensity measurement of LEDs, lamps or illuminants simultaneously during the production process on up to 20 different detection positions.
