SICK Colour Sensors 13 m, LED IO-Link, Push Pull, 100 mA, 28.8 V dc, IP67

The CSS/CSX High Speed color sensor is characterized by its high switching frequency and its precise, infinitely variable sensitivity adjustment. Furthermore, the sensor outputs color values (L*a*b or RGB) as well as the similarity of a detected color to a taught-in color. Thanks to its innovative teach-in procedure, the CSS/CSX High Speed also detects color gradients and structured materials. The switching outputs of the device can be binary coded in “Coded” mode without interfaces, which enables it to output up to 15 colors.

Up to 24 colors per identification task (job) can even be transferred via the IO-Link interface and saved externally. The sensor can be quickly and precisely configured for the specific application using the setup assistant in the SOPAS software.

Switching frequency: 13.8 kHz
Output of color values (L*a*b or RGB) and color similarity
Output of up to 15 colors using the “Coded” mode
Up to 24 colors per identification task (job) can be saved
IO-Link interfaces

Thanks to the fast object color detection, high process speeds can be achieved thereby increasing productivity
The output of up to 15 colors per binary coding of the switching outputs ensures easy data transmission - without interfaces such as IO-Link or Modbus®
Extends the process monitoring and diagnostics options through the output of color values and color similarity
Using IO-Link, up to 24 colors can be saved per identification task (job). This saves resources and increases the process flexibility
The sensor can be quickly configured correctly using the setup assistant in the SOPAS software. This makes commissioning easier and increases the process stability.

Mark and object positioning: detecting colored marks, labels, adhesive areas (splicing)
Fast sorting of objects by color: e.g., components in the automotive industry and machine construction
