Description
Product description:
The new CSM color sensor from SICK offers improved gloss behavior combined with an IO-Link function and a miniature housing. The CSM is ideal for applications where color characteristics need to be detected reliably and installation space is at a premium. The sensor detects and monitors objects on the basis of their color. The small CSM color sensor can be set using a simple teachin method, while the new IO-Link function enables intelligent diagnostics, visualization of sensor parameters, and straightforward format changes. Thanks to a switching frequency of up to 1.7 kHz, the CSM is also suitable for use with high-speed machines and manufacturing processes.
At a glance:
- Color sensor in a new miniature housing
- Static and teach-in method for 1 color using control cable or control panel
- Over IO-Link up to 8 colors teachable
- Switching frequency: 1.7 kHz
- Sensing distance: 12.5 mm
- Compatibility with older color sensors thanks to cable with male connector M12
Your benefits:
- Fast, seamless integration into existing applications thanks to a new miniature housing, saving time and money
- Increased switching frequency for improved machine productivity
- Flexible application possibilities thanks to a wide range of color tolerances
- Enhanced, intelligent diagnostics and visualization, as well as quick and easy format changes, thanks to IOLink function
- Quick and easy installation cuts down on installation time
- Sorting processes are simplified by the distinction of up to 8 colors in one job
Fields of application:
- Detecting, sorting, and checking colored objects and products with short sensing distances in the production or manufacturing processes (mechanical engineering and automotive industry)
- Presence checking and identification of labels and boxes, even in confined spaces
- Synchronization of working processes in the packaging industry, in bottling plants, and in sealing machines on the basis of color printing
- Object positioning based on various color characteristics
