SICK CSS-WBG4C4115AA10Z Sensor
SICK CSS-WBG4C4115AA10Z high-resolution color sensor, part 1120173. RGB color recognition for sorting and quality control.
Overview
The SICK CSS-WBG4C4115AA10Z (part number 1120173) is a color sensor of the CSS family with high resolution. It recognizes objects by their color with a precise RGB evaluation and white-light illumination, providing dependable color-based sorting and verification on packaging and printing lines.
How It Works
White light illuminates the target and the sensor evaluates the returned light in color channels. The measured color is compared with taught reference values; when it matches a stored color within tolerance, the corresponding output switches. Multiple colors can be taught and distinguished.

Installation and Setup Notes
Mount the sensor at the family's rated distance to the target and teach the reference colors under production lighting conditions. Keep the optical face clean, as films of dust alter color evaluation. Verify color discrimination with the full range of production color variations before release.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it distinguish similar color shades?
Yes, the high-resolution evaluation distinguishes fine color differences within the taught tolerance windows.
Does ambient light affect it?
The modulated white-light measurement suppresses ambient light influence; avoid strong direct sunlight on the target.
How many colors can be taught?
The family supports multiple taught colors selected via inputs; check the variant specification for the exact count.
