High-Speed Label Alignment in Packaging Lines
In automated wrapping machines, the KTM sensor detects fine contrast marks on glossy packaging film at extremely high speeds. Its rapid 32 µs response ensures labels are precisely positioned, minimizing misalignment, reducing waste, and avoiding costly production stoppages.
Print Mark Detection on Film Packaging
In food and beverage production, the sensor identifies registration marks on transparent or reflective films. By capturing even the smallest contrast differences, it ensures precise cutting, accurate print positioning, and consistently high-quality packaging.
Seal Verification in Automotive Assembly
Within automotive manufacturing, the sensor checks the presence of dark rubber seals on shiny metallic components. Its RGB LED system and dynamic teach-in feature eliminate false readings from reflections and surface variations, ensuring reliable assembly verification.
Edge Detection on Glossy Labels
On high-speed labeling machines, the KTM discerns the edges of reflective labels despite fluctuating light and surface conditions. This maintains exact placement, preventing crooked or misplaced labels on products.
Tube Positioning in Extrusion Lines
In plastic extrusion processes, the sensor detects contrast marks or colored bands on fast-moving tubing. Its compact housing allows installation in tight spaces, while its accuracy ensures the tubing is cut at precisely the right points.
Glossy Card and Cardboard Feed Control
On paperboard feeding systems, the KTM recognizes feed marks on reflective card materials. Its quick, flexible teach-in modes allow operators to adapt instantly to new materials without production delays.
Circuit Board Trace Contrast Detection
In electronics assembly, the sensor distinguishes contrast between printed circuit board traces and their background. This supports accurate placement of components and early detection of defects during manufacturing.
Operation in Harsh or Wash-Down Environments
With its IP67 sealing and rugged design, the KTM operates reliably in moisture-rich or chemically exposed areas. Its non-volatile memory preserves calibration settings even after cleaning cycles or shutdowns.
