Perfect for applications where space is at a premium but accuracy is non-negotiable, this sensor excels at identifying and monitoring objects based on their color.

The miniature CSM color sensor is a breeze to configure, whether using the straightforward static teach-in method or the dynamic teach-in method for a more thorough setup. Configuration can be done on-site with the teach-in button or remotely via IO-Link, which also provides smart diagnostic and visualization options. The advanced teach-in algorithm supports both static 1-point and dynamic multi-point teach-ins, ensuring top-notch detection reliability and performance.

With a sensing range of 12.5 mm to 15 mm in its extended variant, the CSM is versatile enough for a wide array of applications. It guarantees optimal performance and reliability in color detection, boosting machine throughput. Thanks to its diverse teach-in functions and remote configuration and monitoring capabilities, the CSM offers unparalleled flexibility and adaptability, even in the most demanding scenarios.
