SICK KT5W-2P1116 1018044 Contrast Sensor PNP RGB LED IP67

SICK KT5W-2P1116 contrast sensor (contrast scanner) is used for optical, non‑contact detection of contrast marks. It automatically selects the optimum emitted light from a three‑colour RGB LED (630 nm, 525 nm, 470 nm) for a contrast mark, reliably detecting fine grey‑scale differences of less than 1.5 ΔE on high‑gloss materials. A rectangular 30.4 mm × 53 mm × 80 mm metal housing carries IP67 environmental protection and a 10 kHz switching rate supports high‑throughput material handling tasks. The sensor provides a PNP switching output (normally open/toggle‑selectable) and can be set via teach‑in pushbuttons (two‑point static teach‑in) without additional tools.

Applications:

• Register mark detection on packaging foils, paperboard and moving webs

• Positioning of cut, overlap, wrap and folding stations on packaging and converting lines

• Colour‑mark control for fast printed materials (bottling, labelling, envelope production)

• High‑contrast verification on glossy, metallised or transparent substrates

• Quality monitoring tasks in printing, textile and automotive parts assembly

System Integration:

• The device belongs to the SICK KT5‑2 contrast scanner family. The sensor can be mounted via two through‑holes (centre‑to‑centre spacing 1 inch = 25.4 mm) to any standard bracket, or screwed directly to the machine frame.

• The lens unit can be physically exchanged to direct the light beam either from the short actuator side or from the opposite side along the sensor axis, enabling positioning in very crowded mounting spaces.

• Two‑point static teach‑in compares the mark and background reflectivity during setup. Full details of electrical connection (M12‑5 pin assignment) and procedure are given in the device instruction manual („SICK Sensick KT5G‑2P/N1112, KT5W‑2P/N1116 Operating Instructions“).

Standards & Compliance:
Safety class II (IEC 61140), RoHS compliant. For detailed certification and compliance, refer to manufacturer official documentation.
