Micro-Epsilon Group High Precision True Color Controller colorSENSOR CFO 200

The colorSENSOR CFO200 is a high-performance controller for precise color recognition in industrial measurement tasks. The controller is distinguished by high color accuracy, state-of-the-art interfaces and intuitive operation. Using a modulated high-power white light LED, a white light spot is projected via the fiber optics onto the surface to be detected. Part of the light that is back scattered from the target is directed onto a perceptive True Color detector via the same fiber optics, separated into long-, medium- and short-wave light components (X=long, Y=medium, Z=short) and transformed into Lab* color values. The intuitive web interface allows easy teach-in of 254 color groups with 320 colors in total. Multi-teach can alternatively be done via the keys. One function alone adapts the illumination, averaging and signal amplification to the current measurement situation. Furthermore, tolerance models and tolerance values can be adjusted individually. If the sensor recognizes one of the taught colors, the switching state changes via 8 digital outputs. Using the binary output switching ensures reliable test performance in the face of a discontinuity while providing output of up to 254 color groups. The CFO controller is also suitable for detecting the color of self-luminous objects. For this purpose, the internal illumination can optionally be deactivated via the software.
