Color sensors with fixed lenses for special surfaces

colorSENSOR OT

Color recognition on different surface types

colorSENSOR OT color sensors are fixed lens sensors with True-Color detection. The sensor automatically illuminates the surface with white light and records the reflected color values. Apart from the optics, the models hardly differ from each other. The illumination can be disabled by software. OT sensors are then suitable for the color detection of self-luminous sources.
