Wenglor colour sensor for food, packaging and pharmaceuticals

Thursday, 04 July, 2013 | Supplied by: Treotham Automation Pty Ltd


The Wenglor colour sensor for food, packaging and pharmaceuticals provides colour recognition even with changes in distance and is capable of evaluating up to three colours simultaneously. A small spot and large working range are made possible due to single-lens optics.

All sensor settings can be selected by means of Teach-In, as well as via the RS232 interface. Values generated by the sensor can be read out via the interface or digital switching outputs.

The colour sensor is equipped with two digital inputs, three switching outputs and an RS232 port for reading out RGB, XYZ and HSL colour values.

The intensity of the emitted light can be increased in order to detect dark objects. With a spot diameter of 3 mm and a working range of 30 to 40 mm, complex detection tasks can be implemented in a simple, uncomplicated fashion.

The sensor can detect self-luminous and dark objects, and the company claims that even extremely fine colour nuances can be recognised.

The graphic user display allows for easy, intuitive use with multilingual menu prompting in English, French, German and Italian. Additional password protection offers security against unauthorised access.

The sensor works in temperatures ranging from -25 to +60°C.
