Micro-Epsilon Group Standard Sensor for High-Gloss Surfaces colorSENSOR CFS1-V14

With the standard sensor, the light emitted by the controller is sent laterally at an angle of 45° (depending on type) onto the surface of the part to be inspected. The diffuse back reflection (surface color) of the sample is detected by the sensor at 0° (parallel) to the surface and transmitted to the controller via an optical fiber. The sensors are available with different measuring angles and spot sizes. Further measuring geometries are optionally available (e.g., 40°x:0°; 18°x:0°; ...). The angular illumination of the CFS1 enables a punctual illumination of the measuring object without influencing the surface. This means that only the diffusely reflected part of the surface color is detected. This measurement arrangement is best suited for high-gloss and diffuse reflecting surfaces, since direct reflection (surface gloss) does not influence the measurement. The sensor cable has a standard FA connection and is therefore also compatible with other controllers (previous series such as LT or WLCS). The standard sensor offers many advantages in terms of performance and installation possibilities. Due to the external controller, less installation space is required at the measuring point.
