Sick KTM INOX contrast sensor

Click2Contact

The KTM Inox contrast sensor from SICK features high greyscale resolution and is integrated into a rugged stainless steel housing. The optimised OES4 ASIC technology, combined with a response time of 35 μs, ensures good detection of contrast marks, even on glossy materials.

The various teach-in methods (dynamic, static and switching threshold close to mark) ensure flexibility during commissioning. The integrated IO-Link interface can be used to access the parameter settings. This speeds up and simplifies format changes.

The unit has a sensing distance of 11 mm (±3 mm) and a switching frequency of 15 kHz. Featuring an RGB light source, it is Ecolab-certified and tested to IP67 and IP69K enclosure ratings.

The product detects marks even in conditions with weak contrast ratios. It is therefore suitable for use in a wide range of applications, even in harsh environments during intensive cleaning.
