Product Description

The SICK KTM-WN11182PS03 (1072045) is a high-performance, mini contrast sensor designed for reliable detection of even the smallest contrast differences. Part of the KTM Prime family, this sensor features a robust, space-saving plastic housing that fits easily into tight machine environments. It utilizes a sophisticated RGB LED light source, allowing it to automatically select the optimal emitted light color (Red, Green, or Blue) to maximize contrast between the mark and the background.

With a rapid switching frequency of 15 kHz and a response time of 32 µs, the KTM sensor ensures high-speed processing and precise positioning in demanding industrial workflows. The device is equipped with a user-friendly 2-point teach-in button for quick setup, supporting both static and dynamic teach-in modes. Its specialized calibration targets (Kodak White and Pantone 401C) and 50% threshold settings make it exceptionally reliable for detecting subtle gray tones or faint marks on glossy materials. This NPN-output sensor provides IP67-rated protection, ensuring durability and consistent performance in wash-down or dusty manufacturing environments.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High-Speed Processing: 15 kHz switching frequency for high-machine throughput.
  • RGB Technology: Three-color LED light source ensures reliable detection regardless of mark/background color combinations.
  • Precision Optics: Small, well-defined light spot (1.6 mm x 9.5 mm) for detecting narrow print marks.
  • Flexible Teach-In: Easy setup via manual teach-in button or external cable-based teach-in.
  • Compact Design: Small footprint (12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm) for flexible integration into modular machine designs.
  • Rugged Construction: IP67 enclosure rating provides high resistance to moisture and dust.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Printing Industry: High-speed detection of print marks and registration control on packaging.
  • Packaging Machines: Accurate splice detection and positioning of labels or films.
  • Food and Beverage: Monitoring of mark presence on various colored or glossy packaging materials.
  • Quality Control: Wear monitoring and contrast-based sorting in automated assembly lines.
