RGB Color Sensor Discriminates
Delicate Differences in Color.
Best Color Sensor in the Industry.
■
Built-in LED light source ensures long service life
and maintenance-free operation.
■
Discriminates differences in color without being
influenced by changes in ambient temperature,
brightness of sensing objects, or positioning of
sensing objects.
■
Models with built-in amplifiers for long-distance
sensing and those with fiber heads for tiny spot
sensing are available.
■
Incorporates easy-to-see detection level and
threshold level indicators.
■
Degree of protection to IP66 and easy to main-
tain.
■
4-color registration/4-output models are also
available.
