Product Description

The SICK KTM-WP11172P (1082138) is a high-performance, mini contrast sensor designed for universal, space-saving integration in automated environments. As part of the KTM Prime series, this sensor utilizes advanced RGB LED technology to identify even the slightest contrast differences between marks and backgrounds, regardless of color. It is equipped with a vertical light spot (1.6 mm x 9.5 mm) and high grayscale resolution, ensuring reliable detection on various materials, including glossy or reflective surfaces.

One of the standout features of the 1082138 is its incredible speed; with a switching frequency of 15 kHz and a response time of just 32 µs, it is perfectly suited for high-speed production lines where timing is critical. The device features a user-friendly 2-point teach-in button for static and dynamic commissioning, allowing for rapid setup. Housed in a compact 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm ABS plastic casing, it offers IP67 ingress protection, making it durable enough for harsh industrial conditions while maintaining a minimal footprint.

Key Performance Features

• High-Speed Processing: 15 kHz switching frequency and 32 µs response time for rapid detection.
• Multi-Color RGB LED: Automatically selects the best light color (Red, Green, or Blue) to maximize contrast.
• Flexible Teach-In: Supports 2-point static/dynamic teach-in and switching threshold adjustment near the mark.
• Miniature Design: Ultra-compact housing allows for installation in extremely tight spaces.
• Enhanced Reliability: Optimized OES4 ASIC technology provides superior detection on glossy materials and fluctuating heights.
• Rugged Construction: IP67 rating ensures resistance to dust and water ingress.

Ideal Applications

• Packaging Industry: Accurate detection of print marks on film, labels, and tubes.
• Labeling Machines: High-speed alignment and positioning of adhesive labels.
• Printing Processes: Monitoring registration marks and color-coded indicators.
• Food and Beverage: Detecting packaging marks on shiny or metallic surfaces.
• Logistics: Sorting and identifying small items based on contrast variations.
