SICK Contrast Sensors 13 mm, LED IO-Link, PNP/NPN, 100 mA, 10.8 → 28.8 V dc, IP67

Outstanding performance for a variety of applications, even in difficult conditions: The KTX contrast sensor with familiar hole pattern, high precision RGB LED and VISTAL® housing impresses with TwinEye-Technology, color mode, high switching frequency, excellent grayscale resolution, 7-segment display, and IO-Link. The response time of 10 μs and a jitter of 5 μs ensure accurate detection of contrast differences, even at high machine speeds.

The various teach in procedures, integrated color mode, and variable sensor settings ensure greater flexibility during commissioning and increased process stability. The KTX contrast sensor provides additional diagnostics and analysis data via IO-Link. The KTX contrast sensor does the basics and even more.
