High-speed sensing
06 July 2013
The new SICK KTM promises maximum contrast detection reliability in a mini sensor. Suitable for high-speed packaging processes, the SICK KTM achieves fast-paced print mark detection with short response times and fine grey-tone resolution, even where media is shiny.

Print marks are reliably detected on a wide range of packaging media, including reflective materials such as high-gloss foils or where contrast levels are low. This means it is especially suited to high-speed packaging, food and drink, cosmetics, printing and other commercial wrapping and labelling operations.
The SICK KTM’s short response time of 35µs and wide dynamic range enable precise switching signals and positioning accuracy at high throughput speeds.
