Color Sensing For Automation Applications

Verify the presence of targets that can be differentiated by color, faster and with greater control. A ColorMax-1000™ color sensor lets your machine see up to 15 colors and RGB intensity. What's more, innovative technology improves sensitivity and speed, so you can maximize the pace of manufacturing.

  • Recognizes 15 colors. Use fewer sensors. No need to reprogram when you change setups.
  • Traditional color sensors output only a "match/no match" condition, but the ColorMax™-1000 also outputs the analog values for each RGB reading. Now machines and operators can see not just which color, but how much color - enabling tighter control.
  • 2 to 5 times faster sample speed - for fast manufacturing.
  • The only color sensor in an M30 package.
  • Highest resolution and repeatability specs in the industry.
  • Sophisticated algorithms ignore luster
  • PC-based configuration; lock out unauthorized changes

NOTES: 1. CM1000-15HEX outputs in binary format  
  2. Discrete outputs are programmable for PNP or NPN operation  
  3. RGB outputs are 3 independent 0-5V signals representing red, green and blue levels
