Product Description

The SICK KTM-WN11181P (1062200) is a high-performance miniature contrast sensor designed for demanding industrial environments where space is limited but precision is paramount. As part of the KTM Prime series, this sensor utilizes advanced RGB LED technology to automatically select the optimal light color (Red, Green, or Blue) for maximum contrast between the background and the mark. This ensures reliable detection even on glossy materials or low-contrast surfaces.

The sensor features a rugged, compact ABS housing (12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm) with an IP67 rating, making it resistant to dust and water ingress. Setup is simplified through a user-friendly 2-point teach-in process (static or dynamic), allowing operators to configure the device quickly for different packaging or labeling runs. With an incredibly fast response time of 32 µs and a switching frequency of 15 kHz, the KTM-WN11181P is engineered for high-speed machinery, providing consistent performance in modern automated production lines. Its vertical light spot orientation and NPN switching output make it a versatile choice for standard PLC integration.

Key Performance Features

Miniature Design: Ultra-small housing allows for installation in extremely tight machine spaces.
High Grayscale Resolution: Enhanced contrast resolution allows for the detection of even the smallest differences in contrast.
Multi-color RGB LED: Automatically selects the best light color to ensure stable detection on varied material colors.
Fast Response Time: 32 µs response time supports high-speed processing without compromising accuracy.
Flexible Teach-In: Includes static 2-point teach-in and dynamic teach-in options for rapid job changeovers.
Industrial Durability: IP67 enclosure rating and a wide operating temperature range (-10 °C to +55 °C).

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Detection of print marks on film, foil, and paper.
Labeling Systems: Precise positioning of labels on bottles, containers, and boxes.
Printing Sector: Monitoring of registration marks and splice detection.
Food & Beverage: Reliable detection of marks on various colored packaging materials.
Assembly Automation: Small-part detection and positioning based on contrast differences.
