Colour blind?

Most sensors are colour blind although the colours play an increasingly important role in today's manufacturing and processing procedures. Many sensors can distinguish between contrasts, light and dark and matte and gloss. But when the detection of a specific colour becomes the primary requirement, the sensors find their limitations. However, our LOGIPAL III colour sensors are able to detect the finest nuances in colour. The colour sensors in the Series 22 compare a taught colour with the colours that follow in a split second and pass on the matching factor to the control unit through a digital output. The unbeatable compactness of the LOGIPAL III sensors allows a professional, problem free installation even in extremely restricted spaces in your machines or plants.

A clearly arranged panel with three buttons CH TOL SET offers easy operation, and up to 4 colors (channels) can be taught. Of course the acceptable tolerance can be adjusted separately for each channel.

Flexible rotatable plug

The plug which can be rotated 180 degrees ensures maximum positioning freedom and offers high flexibility in cable routing. An 8 pin threaded plug (M12 x 1) fits securely even under harsh industrial applications and guarantees the high protection class IP 67.

Faster more economical!

Manufacturing processes are getting faster and faster - costs need to be reduced. High speed requirements are placed on every link in the chain from the signal detection by the sensor, through the control right up to activation of the controllers, drives, valves etc. Our LOGIPAL III sensor satisfies these requirements with an extremely short response time of 300 micro seconds

Compact color sensor

The rugged metal housing for the 2-channel and 4-channel version is unequalled in its size. The small housing accommodates the entire optics, the light source, the electronics, the microprocessor, the keyboard etc. It therefore requires no external signal processing!

Colour recognition systems have become an integral part of industrial manufacturing. Whether you want to detect the finest nuances of materials, distinguish the wrong from the right objects or sort products using coloured marks, the application possibilities are almost unlimited. The sensors never let themselves be confused by the ambient lighting like the human eye. No colour remains undetected by the sensor.

You will find application examples in a wide range of industrial areas. For instance, powders, granules or liquids as well as metals, glass, types of paper, plastics and all kinds of textiles are checked and detected according to significant color features.


General	With the colour recognition sensor, Logipal, you can now use colour as a criterion for your sorting, quality monitoring and automation processes. Using the latest technology such as semiconductor light sources in Chip-on board technology and powerful microcontrollers, we can offer you an ultra-compact sensor which will enable you to distinguish several hundred colours.

Functional principle	Logipal works in a similar manner to our eyes according to the three-colour procedure with durable, maintenance free semiconductor light sources. In the three-colour procedure, any colour can be described in relation to the primary colours red, green and blue. In the Teach method, the colour of an object is stored. If the sensor recognises the colour again when measuring, it activates the relevant output. The tolerances can be adjusted as required to allow you to detect rough or fine colour differences.

Operation	Very simple operation according to the Teach-in procedure: Four different colors can be stored using only three keys. For each color, there are five tolerance levels to choose from. The external Teach signal input allows complete remote control of all storage functions and feedback.

Application criteria	Utilisation of the colour sensor is as simple as the reflection light scanner. Only the two points below should be noted. Ensure that the sensor is tilted approx. 15 degrees to the side when using shiny objects. If you wish to detect very fine differences in colour, maintain as accurately as possible a sensing range of 40 mm from the object.
