How to use color sensors for quality improvements and innovative automation tasks
In many industries, color
implies quality. Particularly with consumer goods that arrive at the final
customer, the exact color shade affects the value and identity of the product
and the brand. Therefore, it is crucial to match the correct color shade in the
production process and to produce it homogeneously throughout numerous batches.
Color not only leaves behind a
quality impression but can also be used as indirect quantity to control the
process. For example, color sensors are used to monitor the presence of
adhesive beading, to sort parts or to determine active ingredients. Color
sensors are in most cases the more cost-effective solution as they provide more
precision than conventional switching sensors do.
