Description
SICK Contrast Sensor KT5W-2N1116, 1018045
KT5W-2N1116, 1018045
Contrast Sensor
The SICK Contrast Sensor is a precision optical sensor designed for detecting contrast differences in industrial automation. Equipped with an RGB LED light source, it accurately identifies color variations across various surfaces. With a switching frequency of 10 kHz and a response time of 50 µs, it ensures high-speed and reliable detection in fast-moving production environments. The IP67-rated enclosure and robust zinc diecast housing provide durability in harsh industrial conditions. Ideal for print mark detection, labeling, and packaging applications, this NPN contrast sensor features M12 5-pin connectivity and includes short-circuit and reverse polarity protection for enhanced operational safety.
