CMYX ^TM On The Mark!

Increase process throughput with high-speed, accurate and reliable color mark detection. The CMYX^TM combines small spot size and fast response to achieve high-speed mark detection capable of detecting standard one-track PHARMA-CODE (0.5mm thin bar width) at 2000ft/min. The CMYX^TM is perfect for printing or packaging applications that require the ability to differentiate between background and color marks during high-speed operation. Whether you need to verify color mark presence or measure the position of the print-to-cut triangle, the CMYX^TM provides the accuracy and precision for reliable process control.

The sensor uses a modulated white light source optimized to detect all colors, including difficult to detect 20% yellow marks on white background. The small spot size provides the high-resolution necessary to achieve accurate timing and positioning measurements. The discrete output provides the high-speed interface to external controls.

Advanced features such as remote teach allow the operator to initiate a measurement of the background level when activated. Marks are automatically detected when the deviation from the background exceeds a pre-determined level.

Two seven-segment displays provide a visual representation of the relative intensity from 00 to 99. The calibration feature and 3 LED intensity settings provide for flexible operation over a wide range of conditions. Two keys are provided for making adjustments and changing sensor settings for optimum operation.

• High color contrast sensitivity and resolution.

• High detection speed, 25-microsecond discrete output response.

• Broad-spectrum white LED light source allows detection of all colors.

• Calibration feature allows manual user sensitivity adjustment.

• Remote teach input allows for automatic adjustment to background.

• Unique numerical display indicates measured levels making process setup easy.

• Circular spot allows for any orientation of sensor to marks.
