Wenglor color sensor P1PF for color evaluation and color control

Thanks to white light illumination in combination with an RGB receiver, the Wenglor P1PF color sensor detects colors realistically and reproducibly - regardless of material, surface or changing ambient light conditions. The sensor delivers reliable results even at high speeds: With a switching frequency of 8 kHz, it detects precise color changes even with moving objects and dynamic applications. Two colors can be taught in directly on the device - quickly and easily, without any software. This makes the P1PF the ideal solution for stand-alone applications or service work directly on the machine. Six additional digital outputs are available via IO-Link, so that up to eight colors can be differentiated with just one sensor. This saves space, reduces hardware requirements and conserves resources. Color tolerances can be easily adjusted via IO-Link.

Process-stable color evaluation and intuitive color control

The P1PF color sensor offers the choice between a technical evaluation in the RGB color space and a visually intuitive setting in the HSL color space. This makes it suitable for automated processes for recording measured values. An integrated 9-LED bar graph visualizes the currently detected color and the taught-in references of all outputs in real time. The immediate visual feedback facilitates adjustment, teach-in and troubleshooting - without any additional tools. Thanks to direct color matching, the distance or tilt angle of the sensor can be specifically adjusted to achieve optimum measurement results. Users can choose between two display variants: the display of the reference values of the two physical switching outputs or the display of all eight outputs.
