EMX Industries has introduced the ColorMax-1000 RGB color sensor with 4 discrete outputs plus RGB analog outputs. The combination of discrete and analog outputs in one sensor is said to provide more intelligent control over manufacturing processes requiring color recognition. The unit outputs raw RGB readings as analog signals representing the intensity of each color component.
The raw RGB signals can be input to programmable logic controllers
containing specific algorithms to evaluate the data, enabling operators
to see the intensity of individual RGB readings and allows them to
adjust a process quickly to maintain color consistency. Tolerances are
adjustable on a channel-by-channel basis.
In addition to the analog signals, the sensor has four discrete outputs that operate as a traditional color sensor. The discrete signals indicate a match/no match condition for up to four colors programmed into memory.
