Top performance for universal, space-saving use in the packaging industry even under harsh conditions: The new KTM prime contrast sensor from SICK features a high grayscale resolution and is integrated into a small, tried-and-tested housing that is also available in stainless steel.
The optimized OES4 ASIC technology and a response time of 35 µs ensure reliable and accurate detection of contrast marks, even on glossy materials.
The various teach-in methods (dynamic, static, and switching threshold near the marks) ensure greater flexibility during commissioning.
The integrated IO-Link interface can be used to access the parameter settings. This speeds up and simplifies format changes.
The KTM reliably detects marks even in conditions with weak contrast ratios and is therefore ideal for use in a wide range of applications; in the stainless steel version, it can even be used in harsh environments during intensive cleaning.
Features
Small housing allows installation even where space is limited
Powerful, fast contrast sensor ensures high machine throughput
Three-color LED technology allows a reliable process, with contrast marks detected even in conditions with weak contrast ratios
Good contrast resolution and a very large dynamic range ensure good detection performance on glossy materials, thus increasing the range of application possibilities
Various teach-in methods enable more flexible commissioning
Long service life, even in harsh environments, thanks to stainless steel housing; as a result, excellent system throughput and low spare parts costs
Enhanced diagnostics and visualization of sensor parameters, as well as quick and easy format changes, since parameter settings can be downloaded via IO-Link
