Inline color measuring system // colorCONTROL ACS7000

Product catalog summary
Overview: The colorCONTROL ACS7000 is an advanced inline color measuring system designed for high precision and non-contact color measurement, suitable for various industrial applications such as quality assurance and continuous documentation.
Specifications:
  • Light Source: Adjustable standard illuminant and observer.
  • Color Spaces: XYZ, L*a*b*, L*u*v*, L*c*h.
  • Measurement Accuracy: ∆E ≤ 0.08 (sample-related).
  • Measurement Frequency: 25Hz to 2000Hz.
  • Interfaces: Ethernet/EtherCAT, RS422, Digital I/O.
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 45°C.
  • Protection Class: IP40.
Functionality: The system operates in three modes: measuring color distance ΔE, determining reflectivity spectrum, and displaying color coordinates in the desired color space. It supports trend analysis for quality inspection and operates via a web interface.
Measuring Principle: Utilizes a spectral procedure for color measurement, illuminating samples with homogeneous white LED light and calculating the spectrum of reflected light against a white reference.
Sensors:
  • Standard Sensor ACS1: For common tasks, with measurement distances of 38mm or 50mm and geometries of 45°/0° or 30°/0°.
  • Circular Sensor ACS2: For structured and reflective surfaces, with a measurement distance of 28mm and a geometry of 45° circular/0°.
  • Transmission Sensor ACS3: For transparent and self-luminous objects, with a maximum measurement distance of 300mm.
Applications: Suitable for inline measurement in production lines across various industries such as plastics, wood, paper, glass, films, textiles, and automotive. It aids in continuous process measurement, ensuring consistent product quality and reducing production costs.
Accessories: Includes various connection cables and white standards for calibration and setup.
Additional Overview: The document also details cables, adapters, and accessories compatible with the colorCONTROL ACS7000 system, manufactured by MICRO-EPSILON Eltrotec GmbH.
Additional Specifications:
  • Cables: Lists multiple cables with different lengths and specifications, such as CAB-M9 and CAB-RJ45 series, designed for power, digital I/O, synchronization, color output, Ethernet, and RS422 connections.
  • Interface Cards: The IF2008 and IF2001/USB interface cards provide RS422/PCI and RS422/USB conversion capabilities.
  • Adapters and Mounting Accessories: Various adapters and mounting rails are specified for sensor head connections and distance readjustments, including FCS-ACS series adapters and mounting rails.
  • Power Supply: The PS2030 power supply offers 24V/24W/1A output with specific cable configurations.
Procedures and Recommendations:
  • Ensure compatibility of cables and accessories with the colorCONTROL ACS7000 system.
  • Follow specified pin assignments and connection guidelines for optimal performance.
Company Information: MICRO-EPSILON Eltrotec GmbH is located in Göppingen, Germany, specializing in high-performance sensors and measurement systems, including displacement, position, and non-contact temperature measurement devices.
