ColorMax-1000 Color Sensors Overview
With our efficient color sensors, you can verify the presence of opaque targets that can be differentiated by color faster and with greater control. A ColorMax-1000β’ color sensor lets your machine see up to 15 colors and RGB intensity. Innovative technology improves sensitivity and speed, so you can maximize the pace of your manufacturing and optimize your facilityβs output.
Key Features of ColorMax-1000 Sensors
- Detects color and color + luminosity
- 20 kHz switching frequency
- High intensity white LED
- Up to 150mm operating range
- USB and RS232 interface
- Recognizes up to 15 colors, reducing need for multiple sensors
- Fast 20kHz sample speed for efficient operations
- PC-based configuration software with unauthorized change lockout
- White balance adjustment for RGB correction factors
- Graphic user interface for easy correction factor calculation
- M30 package, highest resolution and repeatability in industry
- 2 to 5 times faster sample speed
- Sophisticated algorithms ignore luster
- Analog output values for RGB readings, enabling tighter control
Quality Control
Traditional color sensors output only a βmatch/no matchβ condition, but the ColorMax-1000 provides analog output values for each RGB reading. Now, machines and operators can see which color is being analyzed and how much color is present, which in turn enables tighter control. Color Sensor Case Studies: Click Here!

- Fast 20kHz sample speed for efficient operations
- PC-based configuration software with unauthorized change lockout
- White balance adjustment for RGB correction factors
- Graphic user interface for easy correction factor calculation
- M30 package, highest resolution and repeatability in industry
- 2 to 5 times faster sample speed
- Sophisticated algorithms ignore luster
- Analog output values for RGB readings, enabling tighter control
Quality Control
Traditional color sensors output only a βmatch/no matchβ condition, but the ColorMax-1000 provides analog output values for each RGB reading. Now, machines and operators can see which color is being analyzed and how much color is present, which in turn enables tighter control. Color Sensor Case Studies: Click Here!
