Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX CS Series?
A: The CS Series consists of RGB LED color sensors that use spectroscopic measurement to discriminate colors based on color components and brightness.
Q2: What models are available in the CS Series?
A: The lineup includes CS-D3 with NPN output and CS-D3PN with PNP output.
Q3: What is the detecting distance of the CS Series?
A: The detecting distance is 33 mm.
Q4: How does the CS Series differentiate colors?
A: It uses red, green, and blue composite illumination for spectroscopic measurement and can evaluate color components alone or together with brightness.
Q5: What teaching methods are available?
A: Auto, Manual, and Mix teaching methods are available for different color discrimination conditions.
Q6: What is Mix teaching used for?
A: Mix teaching is used to discriminate between targets with similar colors and small color differences.
Q7: What is the response time of the CS Series?
A: The response time is 1 ms or less in Normal mode and 5 ms or less in Average mode.
Q8: Does the CS Series support external teaching?
A: Yes. A no-voltage external input can perform the same teaching function as the SET switch on the sensor.
Q9: What fiber units can be used with the CS Series?
A: CS-DF10 and CS-DF30 fiber units are available for different sensing positions and equipment layouts.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the CS Series?
A: Applications include lead-frame plating detection and checking bearing outer cases by color marking to prevent model mixing.
