SICK Contrast Sensor White LED 12.5 mm PNP 50 mA IO-Link IP67 24V dc KTM-MP31181P

SICK KTM-MP31181P contrast sensor features a white LED light source with a maximum detection range of 12.5 mm. This sensor utilizes a PNP output and supports a maximum current of 50 mA, operating at 24V dc power supply. Designed for universal use, this sensor is ideal for reliable print mark and contrast detection in packaging, print, and labeling applications, especially in the food, beverage, and consumer goods industries.

The compact and tried-and-tested KTM Prime housing ensures installation flexibility even in confined spaces. It offers very large dynamic range and high grayscale resolution, allowing accurate detection on glossy surfaces. The sensor includes a three-color LED technology that visually indicates process state, supporting reliable operation even under weak contrast conditions.

Equipped with multiple teach-in methods - including static, dynamic, and switching threshold near the marks - it enables flexible and simple commissioning. The integrated IO-Link interface provides enhanced diagnostics and easy parameter setting downloads, facilitating quick format changes and reducing downtime.

This robust sensor has an IP67 rating ensuring dust-tight and water-resistant protection, making it suitable for harsh environments and intensive cleaning. Operating temperature range from -10°C to 55°C allows stable performance across various industrial environments. The sensor is wall mountable and made with a durable plastic housing with options for stainless steel for harsh conditions.
