SICK Contrast Sensor RGB LED 12.5 mm, NPN Output, 50 mA, IO-Link Interface, IP67, 24V DC KTM-WN117A1P

The SICK KTM-WN117A1P is a high-performance contrast sensor featuring an RGB LED light source and NPN output type, operating at 24V DC with a maximum current of 50 mA. Designed for industrial automation, it is housed in a durable plastic casing with an IP67 rating, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.

This sensor delivers excellent grayscale resolution and a very large dynamic range, allowing it to detect contrasts even on glossy materials. Its small and tried-and-tested housing makes it perfect for installations where space is limited. The sensing distance is up to 12.5 mm, capable of detecting print marks and contrast marks accurately.

The KTM Prime series sensor offers static and dynamic teach-in methods, making commissioning flexible and straightforward. Additionally, it is equipped with IO-Link functionality for enhanced diagnostics, visualization, and quick parameter adjustments, which simplifies format changes in production lines.

With a switching frequency of 15 kHz and a response time of 35 microseconds, this sensor supports high-speed labeling, packaging, and print mark detection. The three-color LED status display aids in reliable process monitoring, even under challenging detection conditions with weak contrast ratios.

Applications include print mark detection on continuous materials to control cutting processes, positioning tubes, and label alignment on bottles. Its robust design, including availability in stainless steel versions, makes it suitable for intensive cleaning environments typically found in the food, beverage, and consumer goods packaging industries.

The sensor features a small housing suitable for compact installations. It provides high grayscale resolution for reliable detection on glossy materials. Three-color LED technology enables accurate contrast detection even with weak contrast ratios.
