KTM-WP11181P Contrast Sensor PNP 12.5mm 15kHz | SICK

The Original New SICK KTM-WP11181P (1062199) is a contrast sensor from the KTM Prime series, designed for reliable detection of contrast marks in high-speed printing, packaging, and labelling applications. It uses an RGB LED light source (470 nm, 525 nm, 625 nm) and optimised OES4 ASIC technology to achieve a response time of 32 µs and a switching frequency of 15 kHz, enabling accurate mark detection even on glossy materials. The sensor offers a sensing distance of ≤ 12.5 mm with a tolerance of ± 3 mm, and its compact 12 × 31.5 × 21 mm housing with IP67 protection makes it suitable for space-constrained industrial environments. Teach-in is performed via a button, with support for static, dynamic, and proximity-to-mark teach-in modes.
