Inline color monitoring of plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are frequently manufactured in different shapes and sizes. In this respect, color homogeneity within the product range is of particular importance with brand products. Frequently, colorSENSOR CFO200 sensors are used for inline color inspection of plastic bottles due to their high measuring rate and color accuracy. The bottles being produced in different sizes and shapes present distance-dependent color deviations which are compensated for by the color sensor. The multi-teach function of the colorSENSOR CFO series enables the definition of color groups which are used to teach in distance-dependent color deviations. With up to 320 colors in 256 color groups, CFO color sensors are ideally suited to reliable monitoring of different productions batches and variants.
