CR500
Color Sensor

T

he distance independence (sensor head - target ) is a particular feature of the CR500
which is achieved by the patented CROMLADIST® technology. The
measurement distance is real time detected and compensated
numerically through a specially shaped and with the color sensor firmly
connected optical fiber. The distance dependent color error E can be
reduced by up to 97%, depending on the color. As with the other color
sensors of the CROMLAVIEW® family the CR500 processes colors
perceptually (i.e. according to human color perception) and
assesses color distances with the precision of the human eye.
The CR500 can be parameterized by means of RS232 or USB
interfaces. The free software CR-Tool – CR500 facilitates the
parameterization of the color sensor and the visualization of
color values. A distance monitor supports the adjustment of the
fiber head. Besides that, the color sensor can also be operated
using the buttons. Therefore the distance monitoring can be performed by means of 12
LEDs.
As all the other CROMLAVIEW® color sensors the CR500 is equipped with CROMLASTAB®-technology, which protects
from temperature- and aging drifts and ensures with this method a reliable operation over the whole lifetime cycle.
The sensor contains an own white light source clocked with a frequency of up to 2 kHz. Sampling takes place in both,
the light and the dark phase. Additive ambient light cannot change the difference between the light and dark phase,
so that the sensor is independent from ambient light.
