Colormax Sensors Target Plastic Industry

EMX Industries' Colormax and Colormax View sensors come in an industry-standard M30 housing without any internal or external switches, facilitating easy integration into manufacturing lines. The high-resolution, high-speed operation characteristics make this sensor suitable for applications in the plastic, automotive, wood, paper, pharmaceutical, coating, film and numerous other industries.

The Colormax set-up functions are driven by software that can run on any windows programme. The operator has control over parameters of the sensor such as target illumination and up to 0.5 per cent resolution on each of the RGB channels. Colormax has up to 15 discrete, RGB analogue and RS232/USB outputs that can be integrated with PLC, HMI or a PC. Colormax sensors are used for opaque materials and Colormax View sensors are appropriate for translucent materials.
