Product Description

The SICK 1081373 (KTM-WP1A282V) is a high-performance miniature contrast sensor belonging to the KTM Prime family. Engineered for space-critical applications, it features a rugged stainless steel housing that meets IP69K standards, making it exceptionally resistant to intensive cleaning agents and high-pressure washdowns common in food and beverage industries. The sensor utilizes a three-color RGB LED technology to automatically select the best light source for maximum contrast between the mark and background, even with glossy materials or low-contrast differences.

With a rapid switching frequency of 15 kHz and a response time of only 35 µs, the KTM Prime ensures precise detection in high-speed production and packaging processes. Setup is simplified via a user-friendly 2-point teach-in button located on the device, allowing for both static and dynamic teach-in. Its compact dimensions (15.25 mm x 48.6 mm x 22.2 mm) and vertical light spot orientation provide flexible mounting options. This sensor is a reliable solution for manufacturers requiring high grayscale resolution and robust performance in demanding hygiene-critical environments.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Switching Frequency: 15 kHz for reliable detection in high-speed production lines.
  • RGB LED Technology: Automatic selection of Red, Green, or Blue light to optimize contrast detection.
  • Rugged Construction: IP69K-rated stainless steel (316L) housing for maximum durability in washdown areas.
  • Precision Timing: Ultra-fast response time of 35 µs with a jitter of only 15 µs.
  • Flexible Teach-in: Simple 2-point teach-in (static/dynamic) plus proximity-to-mark adjustment.
  • Miniature Design: Small footprint for easy integration into machines with restricted mounting space.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Packaging Industry: Detecting registration marks on flexible packaging, labels, or tubes.
  • Food and Beverage: Use in washdown environments where hygiene and chemical resistance are mandatory.
  • Labeling Machines: High-speed positioning and alignment of labels on various substrates.
  • Printing Industry: Monitoring of cut marks and print synchronization.
  • Pharma & Cosmetics: Reliable detection of contrast marks on small containers or glossy metallic surfaces.
