Recognition and distinction of colors

Distinction of shiny nuts In fully automatic machining centers, the reliable distinction of supplied parts is state of the art. Measurement objects with shiny surfaces in particular place high demands on sensors. Here, colorSENSOR CFO100 sensors are used to reliably differentiate between glossy nuts made of aluminum and tin. Therefore, an optical fiber is guided to the measuring point. The high accuracy of the CFO100 sensor then enables the reliable detection of the respective metal and transfers the measured value to the processing machine. Sensor: colorSENSOR CFO100 Aluminum cans are painted...

Precision color measurement on coated metals

■ Inline color measurement at the highest precision ■ Optimized sensor models for different surfaces, e.g. reflecting, transparent, curved ■ High measuring rate, ideal for quality assurance and documentation in the processing line Color distinction of aluminum rims In the automatic inspection of incoming goods, identical color shades must be assigned reliably in order to be able to match identical color pairs. For fully automatic recognition of colors, the colorCONTROL ACS7000 color measuring system is used. It recognizes bright and dark color shades in order to ensure the reliable assignment...

Color measurement on coated glass

Recognition of anti-reflection coating on lenses Optical surfaces of many lenses have an anti-reflection coating which should reduce surface reflections. These anti-reflective layers must be applied evenly; otherwise undesired color gradients may occur which might impair the function of the lens. In order to inspect the visual color impression (green-blue for highly sophisticated coatings) and the coating quality, colorSENSOR CFO200 color sensors are used. Equipped with the A1.1 sensor head (total reflection/angle of incidence=angle of reflection). Due to the high resolution, they detect even...
