Optimize your packaging line with the SICK 1078166 (KTX-WS91142242ZZZZ) contrast sensor. Features TwinEye-Technology, 50 kHz switching, and RGB LED for high precision.
The SICK 1078166 is a high-performance KTX Prime contrast sensor designed for demanding industrial automation tasks. This sensor utilizes SICK’s proprietary TwinEye-Technology, which ensures a higher depth of field and a significantly improved sensing distance tolerance of ± 5 mm. By using a multi-color RGB LED light source, the device automatically selects the ideal emission color (Red, Green, or Blue) to achieve the highest contrast between the mark and the background, even on challenging materials like glossy films or fluttering webs.
Equipped with a rugged VISTAL® housing, the 1078166 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments while maintaining a compact footprint. It features an integrated 7-segment display for clear visual feedback and easy parameter adjustment. The sensor supports multiple teach-in modes, including 2-point, 1-point, and dynamic teach-in, allowing for rapid commissioning. With a blistering switching frequency of 50 kHz and a low jitter of 5 µs, it delivers consistent and precise detection at high machine speeds, ensuring maximum process stability and reduced downtime for modern high-speed production lines.
