Product Description

The SICK CS84-P3612 (Part No. 1028227) is a sophisticated color sensor designed for high-resolution color differentiation in automated processes. Part of the renowned CS8 series, this device utilizes a multi-color RGB LED light source to identify and store up to four distinct colors simultaneously. With a sensing distance of 60 mm, it provides exceptional precision even at high processing speeds, making it ideal for detecting subtle color variations on complex surfaces.

The sensor is housed in a rugged, rectangular metal enclosure that ensures durability in demanding industrial environments. It features an intuitive bar graph display on the device body, which provides real-time feedback on color quality and detection reliability, simplifying the setup and monitoring process. The CS84-P3612 includes four independent PNP switching outputs, allowing it to signal the presence of specific colors to a control system without the need for external processing. Its high switching frequency and fast response time ensure that even the smallest color marks are captured on high-speed production lines. This combination of multi-channel output, rugged build, and precise RGB technology makes it a standard-setting solution for quality control and sorting applications.

Key Performance Features

Multi-Color Memory: Ability to teach and store up to 4 different colors for flexible process changes.
Bar Graph Display: Integrated LED display shows the correlation between the detected color and the stored reference.
High Switching Frequency: Operates at up to 3.5 kHz, supporting extremely fast production cycles.
Extreme Color Resolution: High-precision RGB technology allows for the differentiation of very similar color shades.
Interchangeable Lenses: Compatible with various lenses to adjust the light spot size and sensing distance.
Rugged Metal Housing: Designed with a durable zinc die-cast body and IP67 rating for harsh environments.

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Verification of correct labels, caps, or packaging colors on filling lines.
Print and Paper: Detection of colored registration marks or sorting of printed materials.
Automotive Assembly: Verification of component colors (e.g., upholstery, mirrors, or wiring) to prevent assembly errors.
Quality Control: Sorting products based on color intensity or shade consistency.
Electronics Manufacturing: Identification of colored components or connectors on PCBs.
