Product Description

The SICK KTM-WP117A1P (1061770) is a high-performance, mini contrast sensor designed for precise detection in space-restricted industrial environments. As part of the KTM Prime series, it utilizes a sophisticated three-color RGB LED light source that automatically selects the optimal emission color (Red, Green, or Blue) to ensure the highest possible contrast between a mark and its background. This makes it exceptionally reliable even with difficult-to-detect materials, such as shiny surfaces or low-contrast grayscale combinations.

Housed in a compact 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm ABS casing, the sensor is built for versatility and ease of integration. It features a rapid 15 kHz switching frequency and a 32 µs response time, making it ideal for high-speed production lines where timing is critical. Users can configure the device via a simple 2-point teach-in button, through a control cable, or via the integrated IO-Link interface. This communication capability allows for remote parameterization, continuous diagnostics, and simplified device replacement, ensuring maximum machine uptime and operational efficiency in modern automated facilities.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Advanced RGB Technology: Automatically selects the best light color for maximum contrast reliability.
  • High-Speed Processing: 15 kHz switching frequency and 32 µs response time for rapid machine cycles.
  • IO-Link Integration: Enables easy configuration, monitoring, and data transmission for Industry 4.0 applications.
  • Precise Light Spot: A vertical 1.6 mm x 9.5 mm light spot ensures accurate detection of small marks.
  • Robust Design: IP67 rating and a wide operating temperature range (-10 °C to +55 °C) for harsh environments.
  • Easy Setup: Supports both static and dynamic 2-point teach-in modes for flexible installation.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Packaging Industry: Accurate detection of print marks on film, labels, and cardboard.
  • Labeling Machines: High-speed synchronization of labeling processes on various containers.
  • Printing & Paper: Monitoring of cut-off positions and alignment marks in high-speed web presses.
  • Quality Control: Verifying the presence and orientation of components or markings on assembly lines.
  • Logistics: Sorting and identifying objects based on colored markings or high-contrast labels.
