The KTM contrast sensor from SICK stands out thanks to its high grayscale resolution integrated in a small, established housing. The optimized OES4 ASIC technology and a response time of 35 μs ensure reliable and accurate detection of contrast differences even on shiny materials. The various teach-in methods mean greater flexibility during commissioning. The integrated IO-Link can be used to access the parameter settings. This speeds up and simplifies format changes. The KTM reliably detects marks even in conditions with weak contrast ratios and is ideal for use in a wide range of applications. For use in all contrast detection applications, particularly the packaging industry - Print mark detection on continuous materials for controlling the cutting process - Positioning of tubes - Label alignment on bottles
