Product Description

The SICK CSM-WN111C2P (Part No. 1122728) is a high-performance color sensor engineered for precision in space-critical industrial environments. As part of SICK’s “Mini, Easy, Smart” product generation, this sensor combines a compact 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm miniature housing with powerful RGB LED technology. Utilizing three separate light sources—red, green, and blue—the CSM-WN111C2P effectively scans objects to detect and distinguish specific color hues with a sensing distance of 12.5 mm.

Setup is remarkably efficient thanks to the integrated teach-in button, which supports both static and dynamic teach-in methods for rapid adaptation to changing production requirements. This NPN-output sensor offers a fast response time of 300 µs and a switching frequency of 1.7 kHz, ensuring reliable performance in high-speed applications. Built for longevity, it features a rugged IP67 enclosure rating and operates across a wide temperature range from -10 °C to +55 °C. Whether utilized for verifying color-coded packaging or ensuring correct component assembly, the CSM-WN111C2P delivers superior detection reliability and gloss suppression, making it a versatile solution for modern automated manufacturing processes.

Key Performance Features

• Precision Optics: Advanced RGB LED system with a 1.9 mm x 9.4 mm vertical light spot for accurate color nuance detection.
• Flexible Setup: Intuitive teach-in button allows for both static 1-point and dynamic multi-point configuration.
• High-Speed Operation: Rapid 300 µs response time and 150 µs jitter support high-frequency machine throughput.
• Miniature Design: Extremely small footprint saves valuable installation space in compact machinery.
• Industrial Durability: Rugged ABS housing with IP67 rating ensures resistance to dust and water immersion.
• Gloss Suppression: Improved optical system provides stable detection even on reflective or glossy surfaces.
