Color Sensors

wenglor Color Sensors are capable of recognising previously defined colors. The various Color Sensors are differentiated by configuration and type of utilized white light source.

Applications

• Detection of finest color nuances
• Function test for LEDs
• Recognition of colored objects and liquids
• Monitoring the degree of ripeness for fruits or color codes on wires
• They solve each application with through beam or incident light, with little space and high temperatures

Color Sensor FP04

The wenglor FP04 Color Sensor is capable of evaluating up to three colors simultaneously. A small Light Spot and a large working range are made possible thanks to single-lens optics. All settings can be acquired digitally via the RS-232 interface and all values can be read out digitally via the RS-232 interface or three switch outputs. The sensor is capable of reading out RGB color values via the interface.

FP11 Color Sensor

In addition to the functions included with the FP04 Color Sensor, this device is provided with a larger Light Spot diameter. The sensor can also be operated in the through beam mode in combination with a reflector.

FD01 Color Sensor with External Illumination

This complete family of Color Sensors features modular design characteristics, and can thus be ideally adapted to any application. Various distances from the sensor to the object, as well as different Light Spot sizes, are made possible with the help of additional optics and Glass Fiber Optic Cables. The use of a Glass Fiber Optic Cable is also recommended for difficult to access locations and in high temperature zones of up to 300 °C. Reflex and through beam operation modes are both possible. The sensor generates three different output voltages within a range of 0 … 10 V DC depending upon color and brightness. An SPS, an according software or the wenglor Evaluation Unit of the type FN evaluates these three voltages.

FN04 Evaluation Unit

The wenglor FN04 Evaluation Unit can regognize up to four colors simultaneously. Colors to be recognized are selected by pressing a key in the Teach-In operating mode. Up to four Evaluation Units can be utilized parallelly with a single FD01 Color Sensor. Trigger mode operation is also possible.
