| Description of the CROMLAVIEW color sensors |
| |
With color sensors of the CROMLAVIEW ® series ASTECH for the first time introduces drift stabilized multifunctional high performance color sensors for a broad range of applications.
Alle Modelle der CR-Serie sind durch ihre natürliche Verarbeitung der Farbwerte in der Lage, kleinste Farbunterschiede zu erkennen.
By means of natural processing of the color values all models of the CR-series are capable of recognizing smallest color differences.
For this purpose, absolute color values or color differences can be stored and checked depending on the type of sensor.
When using the color difference mode, matching and the ganging of the two sensing channels are essential.
Therefore the balance method CROMLABALANCE ® is available. By this method, an easy and effective channel balance over the entire color space can be done.
Because of the diversity of available fiber optical cables, header optics and by an extensive accessory program,
with the new sensors all but any application can be solved at which it is about reliable color recognition.
In order to be able to adapt the sensors optimal to its case of application, the available signal range must be large.
For this purpose the sensitivity is adjustable in 8 steps (1x … 800x).
Furthermore the illumination intensity of the built-in high power LED can be regulated in 4096 steps.
Due to response times from 50 µs the sensors are also suitable for detection application with high speed requirements.
For the output of the detection results the sensor types CR200 and CR210 are provided with 12 switching outputs that can be freely programmed.
In this way, in principle 4096 output states can be represented. The compact color sensor CR100 has 4 programmable switching outputs.
The new color sensors are characterized by the color value drift stabilization method CROMLASTAB ®. By this method, temperature and aging effects are
compensated high effectively and permanently.
This enables long term stable color detections for demanding application fields and avoids frequent recalibrations of the sensors.
Unique for color sensors are the built-in field bus interfaces that are available for the two types CR200 and CR210.
The field bus interfaces can be used for the processing of the color values in the same way like the standard PC interfaces (RS232 and USB).
The user can choose between PROFIBUS, CANopen and Fast- Ethernet.
