Contrast sensors KTM

Overview:

• Small, simple, fast
• Top performance for versatile, space-saving use in the packaging industry: The KTM 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 to 50 µs ensure the reliable and precise detection of contrast marks, even on glossy materials. The various teach-in methods of the sensor offer greater flexibility during commissioning.
• The integrated IO-Link interface provides access to the parameter settings. For applications with larger distances, SICK offers a laser version of the KTM contrast sensor that can detect contrast marks at distances of up to 250 mm

Benefits:

• The small housing enables it to be installed even in applications with limited space
• Powerful, fast contrast sensor for high machine throughput
• Various teach-in methods provide flexibility during commissioning
• The good contrast resolution and large dynamic range ensure a high detection performance on glossy materials, thereby expanding the application possibilities
• Long service life thanks to the stainless-steel housing, even under harsh conditions, which results in a high plant availability and low spare part costs Improved diagnostics and visualization as well as a quick and easy format change thanks to IO-Link Features

Features:

• High grayscale resolution
