    Functional Principle, Technical Data Short Description The colorSENSOR CFO is an optical controller for precise color recognition for industrial measurement, built into a sturdy aluminum housing. The controller is distinguished by high color accuracy, state-of-the-art inter- faces and intuitive operation. Sensors with optical fiber cables, which can be adapted for various measuring tasks, are connected to the controller.
