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
