SPECTRO-3-5-DIF-ANA True Color Sensor [Analog]

Product Description

The SPECTRO-3-5-DIF-ANA is a true color sensor with a 3 mm to 30 mm measuring range, designed for accurate color, contrast, and grayscale detection using diffuse white LED illumination and a 3-color filter detector. Its design minimizes gloss effects and supports up to 64 color groups with high-speed analog (RGB or Lab coordinates) and digital outputs. Ideal for applications requiring precise visual differentiation, such as color matching in plastics, LED inspection, textile sorting, and quality control of printed materials. This sensor is commonly used in the automotive, electronics, and packaging industries where consistent color recognition is essential for automation and inspection tasks.
