Color detection is essential for many applications, allowing for swift confirmation that the materials you’re measuring match your set color standards. Whether you’re seeking technology that can provide on-the-line raw color data to make real-time decisions or you require a simplified Yes/No answer to confirm your color matches your threshold, you can find a color detector sensor to meet your needs.
At EMX, we offer a range of color detection sensors through our ColorMax line. Read on to learn more about four key options and get in touch with us today to learn which is the best choice for your needs.
The ColorMax Standard offers an effective reliable solution for color detection. It has discrete outputs, allowing for Yes/No responses based on whether your selected color is in view of the equipment. It’s available with 1, 4, or 7 outputs, providing more flexibility in the number of colors you can set and evaluate. It offers 2 to 5 times the efficiency so you can ensure your color detection keeps up with production needs with ease. If you’re seeking a simplified, easy-to-set-up color detector sensor that still offers quality performance and up to 7 unique color outputs, the ColorMax Standard is an excellent choice.
The ColorMax Hex carries the same strong performance and simplified plug-and-play approach of the ColorMax Standard, but advances upon its foundation to deliver double the color outputs. With 15 outputs, you can teach it to determine even more colors, maximizing its flexibility and functionality for your applications. When you require an efficient, effective color sensor with discrete outputs to recognize up to 15 colors, consider the ColorMax Hex.
The ColorMax RGB allows for analog access to real-time color data so you can make on-the-line decisions based on what the sensor is seeing. This is especially useful in applications where dye is being added to a material like plastic film to gauge whether the color has met your thresholds yet. It has 3 analog outputs from 0-5 volts and can integrate into your larger system to provide the color data needed instead of a simple Yes/No answer, like the Standard and Hex models. If you want an analog solution that corresponds to real-time color data, choose the ColorMax RGB.
The ColorMax Flex also offers real-time color data but does so through a unique communication protocol that allows you to access the raw data in a more efficient and streamlined manner. The increased speed and flexibility are beneficial for many applications, and it’s an ideal match for environments that require swift data access for even faster decision-making. If you need to analyze color samples with comprehensive and quick data, choose the ColorMax Flex.
Our diverse range of color detector sensor solutions ensures there’s an ideal match for every application. All of these products are available in the same spot sizes, so determining between them is a matter of the number and style of outputs.
Consider the number of colors you will need to detect within your application. If it’s less than eight, and you don’t require any raw color data, the ColorMax Standard is a strong choice, offering up to seven unique discrete outputs. Need more? Consider the ColorMax Hex instead for up to 15 discrete outputs, expanding the number of colors you can measure while still delivering swift confirmation if your samples are in range.
Next, consider the type of response you require within your environment. If you need a simple Yes/No answer within your system, the Standard and Hex models are a perfect match. Their discrete outputs will allow you to verify the presence of your chosen color post-production so you can maintain products that match your color threshold. Require a more comprehensive look at the data? The RGB and Flex models provide real-time color data, allowing you to get a deeper understanding of what your equipment is seeing so you can make on-the-line decisions to ensure your products meet the proper levels during production itself.
If you’re still not sure which option is right for your sample, take advantage of our complimentary sample testing. Our team will work with you to explore your options and measure a sample of your choosing to ensure your final piece of equipment will match up to your needs and perform as expected.
At EMX, we’re committed to helping our customers find the best sensors to level up their production lines and address everyday challenges, like color detection. Our ColorMax line was designed with the features you require to provide high-speed, highly accurate results. Our range of products ensures you’ll find a solution that matches your requirements and integrates seamlessly into your environment to equip you with the data or color confirmation you require to maintain quality standards with ease.
