Colour Sensors

Colour sensors function by shining a light onto a particular object and measuring the reflected light radiation to calculate the colour of an object. Surface irregularities may cause issues with the light refracted back to the sensor so care must be taken to ensure that a colour sensor is suitable for the task at hand.

Colour sensors are suitable for a wide variety of applications including printing, packaging, food and beverage and the pharmaceutical industry where colour consistency of a product is an important factor. Colour sensors are also suitable for sophisticated applications such as astronomy applications where they are used to measure the colour of stars and other astronomical objects.
