Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD12CNC04BPT Colour Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD12CNC04BPT is a high-performance four-output fibre-optic colour sensor amplifier designed for precise colour recognition in industrial automation, packaging and production machinery. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD12 colour sensor series, it provides reliable detection of coloured marks, components and materials using compatible FPDC fibre-optic sensing heads.
The PD12CNC04BPT uses a diffuse-reflective sensing principle and provides a fibre-dependent sensing distance of approximately 4–50 mm. Its 500 Hz operating frequency enables rapid colour detection in automated processes, while the four-output configuration allows multiple colour conditions to be identified within a single sensing system.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the PD12CNC04BPT provides NPN/PNP transistor outputs with a load capacity of up to 100 mA. An M12 connector, robust polycarbonate housing, yellow and green LED indication and IP65 protection make it well suited to integration into industrial machinery and control systems.

Reliable Colour Recognition for Industrial Automation
Fibre-optic colour sensing enables industrial machinery to distinguish targets according to colour while keeping the main sensor amplifier away from the immediate sensing point. Compatible FPDC fibre assemblies direct light to and from the target, making the PD12CNC04BPT particularly useful where installation space around the product or process is limited.
The PD12CNC04BPT combines four outputs with a fast 500 Hz operating frequency and NPN/PNP connectivity, providing a flexible colour-detection solution for automated sorting, identification and process verification. Different FPDC fibre assemblies can be selected to suit the required sensing distance and mechanical arrangement.
Typical Applications
- Colour-based product sorting and identification.
- Detection of coloured labels and registration marks.
- Packaging and printing machinery.
- Component and material colour verification.
- Assembly and manufacturing quality control.
- Automated production and processing equipment.
- OEM machinery requiring compact fibre-optic sensing.
