Product Description

The SICK 1062150 (KTM-WN11182P) is a high-performance miniature contrast sensor belonging to the KTM Prime series, specifically engineered for space-critical industrial environments. Designed with a robust ABS plastic housing and a compact form factor (12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm), it fits seamlessly into tight machine configurations. The sensor utilizes a three-color RGB LED light source, allowing it to automatically select the optimal emission color (Red, Green, or Blue) to achieve the highest possible contrast between the mark and the background.

With a rapid switching frequency of 15 kHz and a response time of just 32 µs, the KTM Prime ensures reliable detection even in high-speed production cycles. Its vertical light spot (1.6 mm x 9.5 mm) is optimized for narrow marks, and the 2-point teach-in process—available both statically and dynamically—makes commissioning fast and intuitive. This NPN-output sensor is an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking a balance between high-end performance and a small footprint for demanding packaging and printing applications.

Key Performance Features

• High-Speed Processing: 15 kHz switching frequency ensures precision at high web speeds.
• RGB Technology: Automatic selection of the best light color for maximum contrast resolution.
• Compact Design: Small housing allows for installation in extremely restricted spaces.
• Versatile Teach-In: Supports static and dynamic 2-point teach-in for flexible setup.
• Reliability: IP67 rating and rugged ABS housing for durability in harsh industrial environments.
• Low Jitter: 15 µs jitter provides consistent signal stability for accurate positioning.

Ideal Applications

• Packaging Industry: Detection of print marks on film, foil, and paper webs.
• Labeling Machines: High-speed detection and positioning of labels on bottles or containers.
• Printing Press: Monitoring of color marks and registration control.
• Food and Beverage: Sorting and counting of products based on color contrast marks.
• Pharma Packaging: Detecting presence or orientation of small marks on medical tubes and cartons.
