Product Description

The SICK 1052956, belonging to the KTM Prime Inox series, is a high-performance miniature contrast sensor designed for precision and durability in demanding environments. This sensor utilizes a sophisticated RGB LED light source, which automatically selects the ideal emitted light color (Red, Green, or Blue) to ensure the highest contrast resolution between print marks and backgrounds, even those with minimal grayscale differences.

Housed in a robust, corrosion-resistant stainless steel (316L) casing with an IP69K rating, the KTM-WP1A182V is purpose-built for industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as food and beverage or pharmaceutical packaging. Despite its compact miniature dimensions (15.25 mm x 48.6 mm x 22.2 mm), it delivers an exceptional switching frequency of 15 kHz and a rapid 35 µs response time, making it ideal for high-speed automated production lines. Its 2-point teach-in method—available in both static and dynamic modes—allows for quick and intuitive setup via the manual teach-in button or an external control signal, ensuring reliable detection of even the smallest registration marks in tight installation spaces.

Key Performance Features

High-Speed Processing: 15 kHz switching frequency and 35 µs response time for rapid production cycles.
RGB Technology: Three-color LED light source automatically optimizes contrast for multicolored or low-contrast marks.
Rugged Construction: IP67 and IP69K enclosure ratings with washdown-compatible stainless steel housing.
Small Light Spot: Vertical light spot (1.5 mm x 6.5 mm) ensures precision on small registration marks.
Versatile Teach-in: Features 2-point static and dynamic teach-in for flexible commissioning.
Compact Design: Miniature housing saves space in complex machine architectures.

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Detecting print and registration marks on various foils and labels.
Food & Beverage: Tube positioning and label detection in washdown-heavy environments.
Pharmaceuticals: Splice detection and verification of presence for medical packaging.
Printing: Monitoring and aligning web-fed materials at high speeds.
Hygienic Zones: Applications requiring resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and high-pressure water.
