SICK CSS High Resolution Color Sensors

With its high color resolution and an innovative teach-in method, the new CSS High Resolution color sensor can even distinguish between fine color nuances. It also detects color gradients and structured materials like wood. Besides sensing distances of up to 500 mm, the CSS High Resolution comes with an automatic sensing distance regulation feature.  The CSS High Resolution detects colors precisely even at changing distances and with varying object sizes.  Furthermore, the full color TFT sensor display shows color values (L*a*b or RGB) as well as the similarity of a detected color to a taught-in color.  Up to 24 colors per identification task (job) can be transferred via the IO-Link interface and saved externally.  Thanks to an application-specific setup assistant, the sensor can be quickly installed via the SOPAS software.

• Attractive alternative to expensive color measurement solutions thanks to the output of color values and high color resolution
• Saves resources and increases process flexibility because up to 24 colors per identification task (job) can be transferred via IO-Link or saved
• Can be used in many applications thanks to the large sensing distance and automatic sensing distance regulation
• Quick and easy commissioning
• Display of color values on the sensor display
• Fast sensor configuration with the help of the SOPAS software
