According to EMX Industries, colour sensing and matching is easy with ColorMax-1000 industrial sensors. Housed in a standard M30 proximity sensor package, ColorMax-1000 allows faster differentiation between parts, allowing machines to see up to 15 different colours and RGB intensity, while built-in algorithms ignore lustre. Traditional colour sensors output only a ‘match/no match’ condition. ColorMax-1000 outputs the analogue values for each RGB reading, allowing machines and operators to see not just which colour, but how much colour, enabling tighter quality control. This added sensitivity allows companies to maximise the pace of manufacturing. www.emxinc.com
