Overview The CS8 colour sensor is the right choice when colour is critical in detection, control and sorting. The most diverse applications are possible thanks to two detection ranges of 12.5 mm with a precise light spot and 60 mm with a larger light spot. The CS8 is able to accurately differentiate four colours. The CS8-1 allows you to save a colour. The 4-channel CS8-4 is available when multiple colours are required. In addition, the significantly improved colour resolution on the CS8 makes it possible to differentiate between colours that appear similar. The bar graph display assists the user when adjusting the sensor and displays information during operation on the quality of the colour and therefore on the reliability of the detection. At a glance Saving from one (CS81) to four (CS84) possible colours Detection distance of 12.5mm or 60mm Fast response time of up to 85 μs High colour resolution Detection reliability thanks to the display (bar graph) Extremely precise and high-resolution light spot Metal housing with two possible lens orientations (interchangeable) Your Benefit Identify and store up to four colours No need to reprogram the sensor for modifications reducing downtime. High colour resolutions can be detected for better reliability of your process. Extreme spot precision enables reliable and repeatable object detection The display provides information on colour quality and detection reliability (bar graph) ensuring easy process control. Wide range of colour tolerance provides greater flexibility Fast response time, high frame rate, for reliable detection Temperature changes do not affect detection reliability Applications Stamping control Note Product details cover the whole product family.
