SICK KTS and KTX contrast sensors

Click2Contact

SICK KTS and KTX contrast sensors utilise SICK’s TwinEye technology for improved contrast detection and sensing distance tolerance (±5 mm). They have a specially developed high-precision three-colour LED with its colour-mixed light spot, and jitter has been minimised.

IO-Link and additional integrated functions such as recipe management ensure versatility, while the multifunction 7-segment display provides simple yet customised sensor set-up, operation and visualisation.

Familiar applications such as the detection of print marks or the control of industrial labelling processes benefit from greater process stability and performance. The sensors detect high-gloss materials and complex contrasts, even on heavily jittering materials. The integrated colour mode also enables detection of minor contrast differences and colour features.

The KTX product family offers compatibility with previous models: the pattern for mounting the sensors and the electrical connectivity facilitate a 1:1 migration with previous SICK product families.

In its space-saving compact housing, the KTS contrast sensors come in CORE and PRIME configurations; these offer different levels of functionality, enabling a variety of different automation needs to be met individually and economically.
