Smarteye ColorWise true colour sensor

The Smarteye ColorWise true colour sensor is designed to work as an instrument or spectrometer. According to the manufacturer, it can solve difficult colour applications at higher speeds than colour cameras.

The four-channel monitor provides a visual confirmation of performance without the user having to switch channel selections or touch the sensor. The sensor allows for a range of application solutions and, by providing a choice of speed versus resolution, is claimed to remove the limits that either speed or resolution alone can offer.

Users have control over tolerance, light intensity, output configuration (NPN or PNP), timers and input configuration (edge or gate).

The sensor has four digital and three analog outputs that help to sort products by colour and can determine specific colour signatures.
