E3MC

  RGB Color Sensor

RGB Color Sensor Discriminates 
Delicate Differences in Color.
Best Color Sensor in the Industry.

Built-in LED light source ensures long service life 
and maintenance-free operation.

Discriminates differences in color without being 
influenced by changes in ambient temperature, 
brightness of sensing objects, or positioning of 
sensing objects.

Models with built-in amplifiers for long-distance 
sensing and those with fiber heads for tiny spot 
sensing are available.

Incorporates easy-to-see detection level and 
threshold level indicators.

Degree of protection to IP66 and easy to main-
tain.

4-color registration/4-output models are also 
available.

Ordering Information

RGB Color Sensor

Note:

1.

Refer to 

Specifications

 on page 3.

2.

Eleven colors are discriminated at this distance. For a typical example, nine colors are discriminated at a sensing distance of 12
mm. Refer to page 6 for the definition of sensing distance.
