Colour and gloss sensor

The SI-Colo-GD-40 sensor from Sensor Instruments allows both simultaneous and outside-light-independent detection of colour and gloss value. The colour value x,y and the grey value INT are determined by way of the integrated RGB detector.

Diffusion and direct reflection GN are determined by means of two photo-detectors that are arranged in such a way that one detector is positioned in the direct reflection, whereas the other detector receives a section of the diffusely scattered light. The sensor is able to store up to 31 references in the four-dimensional x,y,INT,GN space, and it provides various evaluation methods. The colour gloss sensor is suitable for applications involving automobile interior components where products with highly similar colours have to be inspected.
