Banner Color Sensor: Color Mark Sensor QCM50
Banner color sensors perform chromatic target evaluation in automated industrial processes by comparing received light levels across defined wavelength channels. They operate using structured optical emitters, dedicated photodiode arrays, calibrated RGB measurement paths, and threshold-based decision logic suitable for repetitive machine detection tasks in India. These sensors support discrete switching outputs, teach-based configuration modes, and stable optical readings maintained within specified operating ranges.
The Banner Banner Color Sensor, manufactured by Banner, applies standardized RGB illumination methods, defined spectral response curves, switching frequency limits, and optical filtering arrangements referenced across the Banner Sensors lineup. Typical attributes include spot-size geometry, fixed or adjustable focal settings, integrated signal conditioning, and electrical interfaces configured through PNP, NPN, or IO-Link connectivity. Banner color sensors also maintain performance through mechanical housings built for repeatable alignment, supported voltage ranges, and defined operating temperatures. As an entity, a Banner color sensor functions as an RGB-based optical sensing technology structured as a solid-state unit classified under color-detection sensors and interfaced through discrete or serial output channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Color Mark Sensor?
A color mark sensor is a specialized device to detect color marks on various materials, typically in the packaging and printing industries. It works by emitting light onto a surface and measuring the reflected light intensity to identify color changes.
This sensor is essential for precise positioning and alignment in automated processes, ensuring accurate cutting, folding, or labeling.
What is the Range of Colour Sensor?
The range of a color sensor typically refers to its ability to detect and differentiate a spectrum of colors. Most color sensors can identify primary colors (red, green, blue) and their combinations, allowing for detecting a wide range of hues.
The exact range can vary based on the sensor’s design and application, with some advanced models capable of detecting subtle color variations and shades.
What is a Mark Sensor?
The sensor identifies specific colored or reflective marks, ensuring accurate positioning for processes like cutting, folding, or labeling in automated production lines.
How Accurate are Colour Sensors?
Color sensors accurately detect and differentiate colors, with precision depending on the sensor’s quality and technology. Advanced sensors can distinguish subtle variations in color with high accuracy.
