Product Description

The SICK 1077662 (KTM-WN11184P) is a high-performance, mini contrast sensor designed for demanding industrial environments where space is limited. As part of the KTM Prime family, it utilizes a sophisticated 3-color RGB LED light source that automatically selects the ideal emission color to maximize the contrast between the background and the mark. This ensures reliable detection even on glossy or low-contrast materials.

Housed in a compact, space-saving plastic casing with an IP67 rating, this sensor is built to withstand tough conditions while providing exceptional precision. It features a vertical light spot (1.6 mm x 9.5 mm) and a rapid response time of 32 microseconds, making it capable of handling high-speed packaging and printing applications. The intuitive “Teach-in” button allows for quick and easy configuration, supporting both static and dynamic 2-point teach-in modes. With its NPN switching output and 12.5 mm sensing range, the KTM-WN11184P delivers a cost-effective yet technically superior solution for modern automated production lines.

Key Performance Features

Miniature Design: Small housing allows for flexible installation in tight machine spaces.
RGB Technology: Three-color LED ensures reliable detection on various color combinations and shiny surfaces.
High Switching Speed: 15 kHz frequency enables precise mark detection on fast-moving webs.
Easy Setup: 2-point teach-in (static and dynamic) simplifies commissioning via a single button.
Robust Build: IP67 enclosure rating provides high resistance to dust and water ingress.
Precision Spot: Vertical light spot orientation optimized for standard printing marks.

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Accurate detection of print marks on film and foil packaging.
Printing Industry: Monitoring of register marks and alignment in high-speed printing presses.
Labelling: Precise positioning of labels on bottles, containers, and various packaging formats.
Splice Detection: Identifying material joins or splices in continuous web processes.
Quality Control: General contrast-based sorting and object positioning in small-component assembly.
