Deck Color Monitoring In this application, the BFS 33M was used to detect a color variation on an extruded composite decking board in order to maintain color uniformity. This sensor was located at the exit end of the extruder, to determine if the color was within a given color tolerance, which was specified in the configuration software. If the color of the boards exceeded the given tolerance, the process line would be halted and the color mix corrected by personnel. In the application above, the optional lens was used that allowed the fiber optic cable to be mounted farther away at 220 mm and a 22 degree angle. No external lighting of any kind was required to get a reliable output. Four of the seven output channels were programmed for the different colored boards that could run down the line. In addition to the three digital (binary) outputs, the sensor also offers a serial output that would allow infinite color variations to be programmed and detected.
