SICK CSS-WBGAD4118AA10Z Sensor
SICK CSS-WBGAD4118AA10Z color sensor, part 1120172. High-resolution RGB evaluation for color sorting and verification.
Overview
The SICK CSS-WBGAD4118AA10Z (part number 1120172) belongs to the CSS family of high-resolution color sensors. It evaluates product color with RGB precision for sorting, verification and quality tasks on packaging, printing and assembly lines.
How It Works
White light illuminates the target and the reflected color is measured in RGB channels. The electronics compare the measured value with taught reference colors and switch the corresponding output when a color matches within tolerance. Fast evaluation supports high line speeds.
Key Features
- High-resolution RGB color recognition
- Part number 1120172
- Multiple teachable colors with tolerances
- Fast switching for moving targets
- Stable measurement with modulated illumination
- Easy integration into machine controls
Typical Applications
- Color sorting on packaging and filling lines
- Verification of colored caps and labels
- Quality control of printed materials
- Color-dependent routing on conveyors
- Detection of color deviations in production

Installation and Setup Notes
Install the sensor at the rated distance and teach colors using production samples covering the acceptable variation range. Check discrimination between adjacent colors and adjust tolerances as needed. Clean the optical face during regular maintenance to preserve measurement accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it replace human color inspection?
For defined color tolerances and repetitive checks, it provides consistent automated decisions.
How does it handle gloss?
Specular reflections can bias color reading; correct sensor angle and the modulated measurement mitigate this.
What does the AD in the order code indicate?
It identifies the optics and evaluation configuration of this CSS family variant.
