Panasonic Color Sensor

Panasonic color sensor provides high precision and reliable detection of any color marking by using RGB reflective light ratio that using this function allows effective detection of films with patterns around the area of the mark.

Panasonic color detection sensors can distinguish even the slightest differences in gloss and color shades. The sensor features automatic optimal LED selection, a built-in amplifier, and IP67 protection. 

These sensors are a preferred solution for applications including:

• Detection of labels, seals, printer's marks on packaging machine tapes, boxes, and plating
• Detection of tapes stuck on copper foils
• Color matching, or sorting

Advantages

• Compact size
• 4-digit digital display
• High precision sensing
• Easy and User-friendly operation
• 2-level, 1-level teaching, and full auto teaching options
• External teaching
• 2 detection modes(color and mark)
• Teach-in for simple settings
• High precision color resolution
• Easy Setup
• Key lock operation
• Waterproof
• Ultra High-Speed response time
