Exhibitor highlights

Delta Computer Systems Inc.(Vancouver, Wa.) will offer its CS64A color sensors that feature even lighting for color detection on a range of materials. Diffuse LED lighting and special optics create a large sensing area that makes CS64A relatively immune from false readings caused by material texture and grain direction.
