Product Description

The SICK CS81-P3612 (1028225) is a high-precision color sensor designed for industrial automation applications that require reliable identification and differentiation of colors. Utilizing a multi-color RGB LED light source, the CS81 precisely evaluates the remission of light to distinguish between even the most subtle color nuances. With a generous sensing distance of up to 60 mm and a large light spot of 13 mm x 13 mm, it is exceptionally versatile for detecting varied surface textures and larger color marks.

The device features an intuitive “Teach-in” button for rapid configuration, allowing users to save specific color profiles with a single click. Housed in a durable zinc die-cast casing with an IP67 rating, the CS81-P3612 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. Its high switching frequency of 1,000 Hz ensures accurate performance in high-speed production lines, making it an essential component for quality control and material sorting. Whether used in packaging, automotive, or general manufacturing, this sensor provides the “Sensor Intelligence” SICK is known for.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High-Speed Processing: Features a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz for rapid response times (0.5 ms).
  • Large Light Spot: A 13 mm x 13 mm spot size facilitates reliable detection on textured or irregular surfaces.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Simple 1-point static teach-in via a dedicated button or control cable.
  • Advanced Optics: Utilizes RGB wavelengths (640 nm, 525 nm, 470 nm) for superior color resolution.
  • Rugged Construction: IP67-rated enclosure and an operating temperature range of -10 °C to +55 °C.
  • Flexible Integration: Equipped with both digital PNP switching and a 0 V … 10 V analog output for color intensity monitoring.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Packaging Industry: Detecting color marks on flexible packaging or labels for positioning and cutting.
  • Quality Control: Verifying the presence of colored components or identifying correct product variants.
  • Material Handling: Sorting objects based on color in logistics and conveyor systems.
  • Automotive Assembly: Confirming the color of interior components or body parts during the assembly process.
  • Food & Beverage: Monitoring the color of caps, labels, or containers on high-speed bottling lines.
