Product Description

The SICK KTX-WB9114125UZZZZ (1078111) is a high-performance contrast sensor from the KTX Prime series, engineered for demanding industrial environments. Utilizing advanced TwinEye-Technology, this sensor achieves superior depth of field and a high sensing distance tolerance of ± 5 mm, ensuring stable detection even on fluttery or glossy materials. Its high-precision RGB LED light source automatically selects the optimal emitted light color to distinguish the toughest contrast differences between marks and backgrounds.

Equipped with a fast response time of 10 µs and a minimum jitter of 5 µs, the 1078111 is perfectly suited for high-speed automated processes where precision is critical. The device features a user-friendly 7-segment display for clear feedback during setup and operation. With multiple teach-in modes—including 1-point, 2-point, dynamic, and auto mode—it offers maximum flexibility for various production formats. The rugged VISTAL® housing provides excellent chemical and mechanical resistance, while the integrated IO-Link interface enables smart diagnostics and easy parameter cloning, significantly reducing machine downtime and enhancing overall process stability in modern “Industry 4.0” manufacturing setups.

Key Performance Features

TwinEye-Technology: Enhanced sensing on high-gloss or vibrating materials for increased process reliability.
Ultra-High Speed: 50 kHz switching frequency and 10 µs response time for rapid production cycles.
RGB LED Light Source: Automatic selection of Red, Green, or Blue light to maximize contrast detection.
Integrated Color Mode: Allows for detection based on specific color characteristics, not just grayscale contrast.
Flexible Teach-in: Includes static 2-point teach-in and dynamic teach-in for “on-the-fly” setup.
Analog & Digital Outputs: Dual-functionality with push-pull switching and a 0–10 V analog output for process monitoring.
Smart Diagnostics: IO-Link compatibility for real-time performance tracking and simplified device replacement.

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Detection of print marks on continuous films, tubes, and labels.
Printing Industry: Monitoring of color control strips and alignment marks on high-speed presses.
Food and Beverage: High-speed bottle labeling and contrast detection on reflective foil packaging.
Electronics Assembly: Positioning and presence detection of components or marked PCBs.
Quality Control: Sorting products based on color features or contrast-defined quality marks.
