Product Description

The SICK 1219611 is a member of the advanced KTS Core series, specifically engineered to deliver reliable contrast detection in high-speed automated environments. This sensor utilizes a sophisticated RGB three-color LED light source, which automatically selects the ideal emitted light color (red, green, or blue) to maximize the contrast between the target mark and the background. Housed in a robust VISTAL® casing, it offers superior mechanical stability compared to standard plastic sensors.

Equipped with a simplified “Easy Teach” interface, the 1219611 allows for rapid commissioning via a 2-point teach-in process. This ensures precise detection even of glossy materials or subtle grayscale differences. With a response time of just 20 µs and a switching frequency of 25 kHz, it is perfectly suited for demanding synchronization tasks in the packaging, printing, and labeling industries. Its IP67 rating ensures durability against dust and moisture, while the vertical light spot orientation provides flexibility for various mounting configurations on production lines.

 

Key Performance Features

  • TwinEye-Technology: Enhanced contrast detection on glossy or vibrating materials.
  • High-Speed Response: Extremely low jitter of 10 µs and response time of 20 µs.
  • Automated Color Selection: RGB LED technology optimizes contrast by selecting the best emission color.
  • 2-Point Teach-In: User-friendly setup for defining mark and background thresholds quickly.
  • Robust Construction: VISTAL® housing provides high resistance to chemical and mechanical stress.
  • Versatile Switching: Supports both light and dark switching via NPN output.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Packaging Industry: Accurate detection of print marks on film, paper, and foil.
  • Labeling Machines: High-speed positioning of labels and detection of gap/mark transitions.
  • Printing Processes: Monitoring of registration marks for color alignment and cutting control.
  • Quality Control: Sorting and checking for the presence of specific colored features or marks.
  • Conveyor Systems: Triggering fast-acting sorting gates or pneumatic ejectors.
