SICK KTX-WP91142252ZZZZ 1078066 Contrast Sensor PNP 13mm

SICK KTX-WP91142252ZZZZ is a high-performance contrast sensor from the KTX Prime series. Uses a three-color (RGB) LED light source and advanced TwinEye technology for precise detection of color and contrast differences, even on glossy or jittery materials. The rugged Vistal plastic housing is rated IP67 for reliable operation in harsh environments.

Applications:

• Print mark detection (e.g. for controlling cutting and splicing processes)

• Register control in the printing and packaging industry

• Label alignment and positioning on bottles

• Web tension control and roll end monitoring

• Colour monitoring of yarn or fabric in textile production

• Positioning of tubes, wafers and other objects on high-speed assembly lines

System Integration:

• The sensor belongs to the SICK KTX Prime series of high‑speed contrast sensors.

• Mounting via two M5 threaded holes (flexible hole pattern).

• The M12 5‑pin male connector mates with standard industrial M12 female cables.

• Power supply and PNP‑compatible load must be provided by the user.

• Parameter setting via teach‑in buttons or remotely via IO‑Link.

• The 7‑segment display allows intuitive sensor setup and diagnostics.

Compatibility:

• Works with standard industrial control systems (PNP digital inputs).

• For remote parameter setting and diagnostics, an IO‑Link master and suitable engineering software (e.g. SICK SOPAS) are required.

• 1:1 replacement for existing KT series sensors – assembly compatible.

• Compatible with various mounting brackets and accessories for flexible installation.

Standards & Compliance:

• CE certified, cULus recognized, RoHS compliant.

• For detailed certification and compliance information, refer to manufacturer official documentation.
