Optimize precision with the SICK 1078097 (KTX-WP91141252ZZZZ) Contrast Sensor. Features RGB LED, 13mm sensing range, and 50kHz switching for high-speed industrial automation.
The SICK 1078097 is a high-performance contrast sensor from the KTX Prime series, engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy in demanding industrial environments. Utilizing advanced TwinEye-Technology, the sensor provides an increased depth of field and a high tolerance for sensing distances, ensuring stable detection even on glossy or vibrating materials. Its high-precision RGB LED light source automatically selects the best emission color to maximize contrast resolution between the background and the mark.
Equipped with a user-friendly 7-segment display and flexible teach-in methods—including 1-point, 2-point, dynamic, and auto modes—the KTX-WP91141252ZZZZ allows for rapid commissioning and easy parameter adjustment. With an impressive switching frequency of up to 50 kHz and a response time of just 10 µs, this sensor is optimized for high-speed machine processes where timing and reliability are critical. The robust VISTAL® housing and IP67 rating ensure durability against mechanical stress and environmental contaminants, making it a dependable choice for modern packaging, printing, and labeling applications.
