Color Sensor | Color Identifier | How to Use Color Detectors

Color Sensor is also called a color recognition sensor or color discriminator, and is used to detect colors. Color sensors are widely used in industry, especially in end equipment, where they play a critical role—for example in packaging equipment, lithium batteries, food, pharmaceuticals, automotive, hardware, inkjet coding, screen printing, die-cutting, bag making, zippers, and other machinery for various color recognition tasks.

However, many people still have questions about the application of color sensors. Below we provide a detailed guide on how to use color sensors, taking the Atonm Color Sensor CL2 as an example. The Atonm CL2 color sensor is suitable for any industry and meets color detection needs in various environments; it can detect objects in both solid and liquid states.

CL2 Color Recognition Sensor supports triple 16-bit RGB light sources and can detect nearly 3,000 colors. It can accurately distinguish subtle color differences (2–3 degrees), uses an 8-channel output design, can detect up to four colors simultaneously, and when paired with various dedicated color probes meets detection requirements for different sizes and distances.

Below is the CL2 color sensor operation video to help you better understand and learn.
