Our color sensors in the DTECT® Color Series detect colors and material differences based on spectral analysis: They evaluate the reflected light components of an object spectrally and compare them with taught-in reference values. This allows color markings and product variants to be reliably detected and distinguished – even at high cycle rates or in difficult illumination conditions.
Depending on your requirements, you can choose between different series with specific functional and equipment features, all of which are ideal for precise color-based object.
Selection guide: Which color sensor do you need?
With DTECT® Color, choose from different variants of the FT 55-CM for reliable color detection and assignment in industrial environments. Choosing the appropriate variant depends on the complexity of the colors or materials to be distinguished, among other things.

Typical applications for industrial color sensors
Color sensors are used for numerous processes in industrial automation to reliably detect defined color values or objects based on a color and to derive switching signals from the results. Typical tasks span the range from material sorting to verification of product characteristics and on to detection of color marks. The sensors compare measured RGB intensities with taught-in color values, thereby enabling stable evaluation directly in the process.
