O5 Series Contrast Sensor with RGB Visible Light Transmission LED
ifm’s new high performance O5 Photoelectric Contrast Sensor offers a variety of contrast sensing solutions for the packaging, assembly, material handling and printing industries.
One of the challenges in detecting registration marks or printed color bars is determining the difference between the target and background – especially when the colors are similar.
The O5 sensor features a RGB (Red, Green, Blue) visible light transmission LED that processes through red, green and blue to identify the best color for contrast between the target and the background such as registration marks on labels, and print markings on boxes. The sensor also offers an inexpensive solution to more expensive vision and identification systems designed for contrast applications.
Features include:
• 10,000 Hz switching frequency for high-speed applications
• 18 to 22mm sensing range
• Ideal for flat objects such as labels
• High-color contrast sensitivity and resolution
• Auto-detect for PNP/NPN configuration
• Wide variety of mounting brackets for installation flexibility
• Connector rotates 270° for alignment in multiple directions
• Simple ‘Teach Mode’ setup quickly establishes parameters of application
• Compact size fits in applications with limited mounting space
Typical applications:
• Printed registration marks on a roll of paper or labels
• Continuous-forms markings
• Printed color bars on packages
• Reference marks for printing/cutting
• Confirm presence of bar codes, date codes and data matrix symbols
