Color Mark Sensor

 Feature

  Outstanding color matching accuracy 

- RGB light emitting diodes and 12-bit resolution 

- 2 detection modes (color only / color + intensity) 

- 3-step sensitivity adjustment for each mode (fine, normal, rough)

 External light interference reduction minimizes errors and allows  

stable detection

 Check reference color with teaching indicator

 Operation indicator (red LED), stability indicator (green LED), 

 

timer indicator (orange LED)

 Configure operation functions with external input from wiring

 W1.24 × L6.7 mm spot size for detection of tiny targets and color marks

 IP67 protection structure (IEC standard)

Specifications

 Applications

Packaging, stickers industry: Label status, Mark color check, etc. 

Electronic components, semiconductor industry:  Defective unit check, Connector color check, etc. 

General photoelectric sensor detects present or absent of target by light. 

Color mark sensor detects colors of surfaces by RGB (red, green, and 

blue) light source. 

Saving the desired color at the inner memory, color mark sensor emits 

RGB LED light source to the target 

sequentially. 

Color mark sensor calculates ratio of the three colors, RGB, for the 

optimized sensing via the inner light collection lens.

Using off-axis optical system for minimized optical loss, and cylindrical 

lens, BC Series compares setting color and sensing color with full-color 

determination.
