Color Detection Fiber Sensor FZ-10

FZ-10 Color Detection Fiber Sensors are equipped with three LEDs - red, green and blue - as their light source. This contributes to a long Sensor life and a high immunity against disturbances through ambient light. The RGB components of each detected color are processed digitally, thus the smallest differences will be detected by this Sensor. Even white and yellow can be distinguished.

By pressing just a single button, the Sensor memorizes the inspected color as a reference. Allowable deviations from this target color can be set with a 16-step tolerance adjuster. Four different fibers with spot diameters from 1 to 8mm and different sensing ranges are available for this Color Sensor. With a response time of only 1ms, FZ-10 Color Detection Sensors are also suitable for high-speed color-checking applications.

Characteristics:

Excellent Color Detection
"Teach-In" Button For Easy Sensor Adjustment
16-Step Tolerance Adjuster
Response Time Only 1ms
Miniature Construction
High Ambient Light Immunity
