Product Description

The SICK KTM-MB31191P (1062203) is a high-performance, mini contrast sensor designed for reliable detection in demanding industrial environments. As part of the KTM Core series, it features a small, space-saving housing (12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm) that allows for seamless integration into machines where mounting space is restricted. Utilizing advanced OES4 ASIC technology and a white LED light source, the sensor provides exceptional grayscale resolution, ensuring the dependable detection of contrast marks even on glossy or high-reflection materials.

With a rapid response time of 50 µs and a switching frequency of up to 10 kHz, the KTM-MB31191P is engineered to support high-speed production lines without compromising accuracy. The device offers both PNP and NPN switching outputs and allows for manual threshold adjustment via a screwdriver-adjustable potentiometer. Housed in a durable ABS plastic casing with an IP67 enclosure rating, this sensor is built to withstand harsh operating conditions while maintaining peak performance. Its long-side light emission and round light spot (2 mm diameter) make it a versatile solution for precise positioning and detection tasks across various automation sectors.
