Verification of product color is a constant challenge for many industries. This is why Balluff has launched its BFS 33M true color sensor with IO-Link to provide a solution to this challenge. This sensor is able to detect the smallest nuances or shade differences while disregarding surface textures. “As technology has progressed, true color sensors […]
What types of sensors are used in robots? Part 2 of 2
In addition to the sensors identified in Part 1 of this blog, there are several others required for different types of robots. Chemical, light and color sensors enable the robot to evaluate, adjust and detect problems with its environment. For humanoid robots that can walk, run or even dance (like Dobi, made by Chinese company […]
What’s the color of this thing?
When color is a critical part of the process control, it makes sense to avoid human operator detection and rely on a sensor and computing systems to perform the measurement. While the growth will be in the single digits, a recent report projects that the global color detection sensor market will reach $3.01 billion by […]
Sensing Invisible Targets
Do you need to perform error checking, sorting, measuring and positioning materials that blend into a background or are invisible? If so, Pepperl+Fuchs has designed a solution for you. The DK50-UV Luminescence Sensors also can detect fluorescent chalk marks, clear glue, tamper-proof seals and other marks that regular contrast sensors cannot. A light spot with […]
Color Sensor For Mobile Devices
The ams AG TCS34901 color sensor for portable devices targets light source detection for operation under a wide range of light sources and enables sophisticated display management and brightness control. The light to digital sensor has five-channels for extremely accurate measurements of the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of light. In addition to the red, green […]
