“SICK’s contrast sensors are the industry standard for detection or registration marks,” says David Hannaby, SICK’s UK product manager for presence detection. “However, that does not mean that we have stayed still. Instead, we have moved on to build even greater speed and accuracy into one of the industry’s best used and loved devices.”


“Customers now have the option of upgrading to the more compact KTS, for a space-saving solution, or to the


KTX, which has the same housing size as the KT5 when replacement is the preferred option. One of the biggest advantages of the new technology is its more intuitive set-up to respond to frequent product changeovers. The sensors also cope easily with high-gloss or fluttering materials and there is even the option of incorporating a colour sensing capability without need for an additional device.”


The SICK KTS and KTX family of monochrome and colour contrast sensors bring new levels of detection accuracy


and switching frequency speed in both sheet- and reel-fed production, even in challenging conditions. With compact, lightweight housings in rugged ABS, the sensors feature IO-Link data communication and an


intuitive on-board display for easy set up and improved diagnostics. The sensors incorporate SICK’s pioneering Twin-Eye Technology® for improved contrast detection with better depth of field and a wider sensing distance tolerance. The greater grey-scale sensitivity means even better sensing of monochrome or colour registration marks, even on high gloss packaging.
