Product Description

The SICK KTM-WN11172P (part number 1082137) is a high-performance, mini contrast sensor designed to provide superior detection in space-restricted industrial environments. Part of the acclaimed KTM Prime series, this sensor features a sophisticated RGB LED light source that automatically selects the ideal emission color (Red, Green, or Blue) to maximize the contrast between the registration mark and the background. This ensures reliable detection even on challenging materials like high-gloss foils or low-contrast packaging.

Housed in a compact 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm body, the KTM-WN11172P is engineered for easy integration into tight machine configurations. It utilizes a 2-point static or dynamic teach-in process, allowing operators to set up the sensor quickly via a single button. With a high switching frequency of 15 kHz and a rapid response time of 32 µs, the sensor maintains exceptional precision at high production speeds. Its IP67-rated enclosure and wide operating temperature range make it a durable solution for demanding packaging, labeling, and printing applications where accuracy and reliability are paramount.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Advanced RGB Technology: Automatically identifies the best color for maximum contrast and process stability.
  • High-Speed Processing: Switching frequency of up to 15 kHz and a 32 µs response time for high-velocity lines.
  • User-Friendly Setup: Easy 2-point teach-in (static or dynamic) via a manual button for rapid commissioning.
  • Compact Form Factor: Miniature housing saves space and allows for mounting in extremely tight areas.
  • Superior Optics: Large dynamic range and high grayscale resolution for detecting marks on shiny or dark materials.
  • Rugged Durability: IP67 enclosure rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Packaging Industry: Detecting print marks on continuous webs and individual pouches.
  • Labeling Machines: Precise positioning of labels on bottles, containers, and boxes.
  • Printing Industry: Monitoring registration marks and controlling cutting/folding processes.
  • Food and Beverage: Reliable detection of marks on various packaging films, including high-gloss materials.
  • Pharma Packaging: Verification of mark presence on small-scale medical packaging.
