Contrast sensors
KTM
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.
