Digital Mark Sensor LX-100

Panasonic — LX-100 Series

A photoelectric mark/color-detection sensor using three coaxially-mounted RGB LEDs to detect printed marks and color differences on labels, films and packaging. Offers a fast Mark mode for simple presence/edge detection and a precision Color mode using a 12-bit A/D converter for color discrimination.

Key Features
  • Three-color RGB LED with automatic optimal-LED-selection function
  • Ultra-fast Mark mode response of 45 microseconds or less
  • High-precision Color mode discrimination via 12-bit A/D converter
  • 4-digit digital display for numeric setting and verification
  • Compact body: 57 x 24 x 38 mm
  • Two teaching methods: 2-level and full-auto teaching
  • Key-lock function to prevent accidental setting changes
