Description
Product Overview
The BC Series Color Mark Sensors deliver exceptional color matching accuracy for reliable and stable color detection in industrial applications. These sensors utilize RGB light-emitting diodes (LEDs) combined with 12-bit resolution processing to achieve precise color matching. Featuring two detection modes and a three-step sensitivity adjustment, the sensors can be finely tuned to meet specific application needs. The compact spot size of W 1.24 × L 6.7 mm enables the detection of tiny targets and color marks with high accuracy. Additionally, with an IP67 protection rating, these sensors are built to operate consistently in harsh environments, including those with moisture and dust.
