Color measurement of RAL colors (K1/K5 color fans)

RAL colors are standardized colors with each one assigned to an unambiguous number. They help to precisely determine colors. RAL colors are used in almost every field where surfaces are painted or colored products are manufactured. These color samples serve as reference values at the end of the manufacturing process during quality control, as well as for comparison purposes. For example, in this application, two shades of red, green and white of the RAL K1 and RAL K5 color fans are distinguished.

colorSENSOR CFO sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ideally suited to this kind of precise color comparison measurement as they reliably recognize different colors while enabling 100% quality control. Before the inspection starts, the sensor is calibrated to a 1.25 inch zenith white standard.
