In many industries, color implies quality. Particularly with consumer goods that arrive at the final customer, the exact color shade affects the value and identity of the product and the brand. It is crucial to match the correct color shade in the production process and to produce it homogeneously throughout numerous batches.

Color not only leaves behind a quality impression but can also be used as indirect quantity to control the process. For example, color sensors are used to monitor the presence of adhesive beading, to sort parts or to determine active ingredients. Color sensors are in most cases the more cost-effective solution as they provide more precision than conventional switching sensors do.

The CFO True Color sensors recognize any color whether it is for painting technology, automation systems, medical packaging, quality control, surface-labelling and printing technology tasks. Recording color values and control of the production systems is possible due to the Ethernet interface, which enables integration into modern industrial environments.

The CFO series is distinguished by high accuracy, state-of-the-art interfaces and intuitive operation. It is used in color recognition tasks on interior parts such as head supports, in packaging control or in color sorting tasks with crown caps, closures or labels.

Benefit from the advantages:

• High measurement speed for dynamic processes
• Large color memory for different test batches
• Color space: XYZ, xyZ, L*a*b*; L*u*v* or u'v'L*
• High color accuracy
• Customer-specific calibration
