Delta Computer Systems
The CS24D Color Sensor is the newest addition to Delta's lineup of color sensors. With easy configuration and optimization using Delta’s ColorSense software, the microprocessor-controlled CS24D can be taught to recognize up to 15 colors. A large sensing area and intense lighting make it relatively immune to product texture and other non-color variations. The CS24D is well-suited for on-line color verification. In the automobile industry, for example, the CS24D can quickly and accurately determine the color of seats, headliners, door panels, etc.
The CS24D works by illuminating a sample using an array of 24 ultra-high intensity LEDs and analyzing the reflected light captured by its large-area silicon cell. A new color reading is taken every millisecond and the discrete outputs are updated. Recognizing a new sample can be done as quickly as 2 to 3 milliseconds, although if more time is available, the CS24D allows for a number of readings to be averaged, which improves performane in critical applications.
The CS24D color sensors fill the market between low-end color sensors/color mark readers and spectrometers/color vision systems. The CS24D has better performance and more versatility than typical color sensors. The CS24D is intended for on-line use, whereas spectrometers are typically used off-line and where standardized color space readings are required. Color vision systems are preferred over color sensors where dimensional information is the primary requirement, and consistent color readings are of less importance.
