FZ-10 Series Color Mark Sensors

Fiber Optic Color Sensor

RGB color sensor using fiber optics for increased mounting flexibility

The FZ-10 series of color detection fiber sensors provide reliable and precise color discrimination by utilizing red, green, and blue LEDs as its light sources. Each LED is digitally processed so that accurate color detection is attained that is not possible with conventional fiber sensors. And with a 1ms response time, the FZ-10 is also suitable for high-speed manufacturing lines.

The setup procedure for the FZ-10 has been simplified by incorporating a teach button for manual and automatic threshold setting. In addition, a tolerance adjuster has been implemented for fine-tuning the output to a fine or coarse judgment level. The amplifier is small and compact for easy placement. Four fiber heads are available from the small beam spot FD-L53 (1mm diameter spot) to the long range FD-L54 (40mm distance).
