E3MC RGB Color Sensor
RGB Color Sensor Discriminates
Delicate Differences in Color.
Best Color Sensor in the Industry.
■ Built-in LED light source ensures long service life
and maintenance-free operation.
■ Discriminates differences in color without being
influenced by changes in ambient temperature,
brightness of sensing objects, or positioning of
sensing objects.
■ Models with built-in amplifiers for long-distance
sensing and those with fiber heads for tiny spot
sensing are available.
■ Incorporates easy-to-see detection level and
threshold level indicators.
■ Degree of protection to IP66 and easy to main-
tain.
■ 4-color registration/4-output models are also
available.
Ordering Information
■ RGB Color Sensor
Note: 1. Refer to Specifications on page 3.
2. Eleven colors are discriminated at this distance. For a typical example, nine colors are discriminated at a sensing distance of 12
mm. Refer to page 6 for the definition of sensing distance.
