CS8 Color Sensor

Brand: Sick AG

The ability to teach up to four colors can lead to faster changeovers and shorter downtime.

The CS8 series offers high switching speeds – as fast as 6 kHz (85 µsec) – enabling higher throughput.

And, the sensor maintains the extreme precision of the lightspot; this sharp, well-defined spot provides tighter process control and more consistent object detection.

A bar graph display enables easy setup and provides information about the color quality and detection reliability.
