KTM
Small, simple, fast, rugged
The fast and powerful KTM contrast sensors in the miniature housing impress with universal and space-saving use in a variety of applications. Stainless steel variants for harsh environments and laser variants with a sensing distance of up to 250 mm round out the product range.
KTS Core Color
Contrast and color detection made easy
The KTS Core Color combines two functions in one sensor, namely the detection of contrast and color differences. With the new KTS Core Color, SICK is now also offering an entry-level contrast sensor that not only does not show any weaknesses with contrast differences, but with color detection as well – it is simple, reliable, and powerful.
KTS Prime Gap Detection
To detect even the smallest gaps
If the smallest gaps between two objects have to be reliably detected, the KTS Gap Detection is the perfect solution. No matter whether you require impact-to-impact detection or the inspection of cut edges: the new KTS sensor solution from SICK reliably detects any gap, no matter how small.
KTS Prime, KTX Prime
Innovative and high-performance combination of contrast and color sensors
Outstanding performance for a wide range of applications. The KTS and KTX Prime contrast sensors detect even hard-to-detect objects with very small differences in contrast and color. They are easy to operate, feature diagnostic functions, flexible format change and much more.
KTS Core
Universal contrast and color detection in a modern housing
KTS Core – high process stability and minimization of downtime in universal applications. The sensors enable stable and exact position detection of contrast differences. The practical display and flexible sensor settings ensure easy operation.
KTS Prime, KTX Prime
Reliable contrast detection, even at large distances
The KTS Prime and KTX Prime with large sensing distances master contrast detection in demanding applications with large distances to objects of up to 150 mm.
KTL180
Safe object detection at high machine speeds
KTL180 contrast sensors are ideal for detecting contrasts where installation space is limited and machine processes are fast. Fast format changes are no problem for the sensors thanks to the integrated job storage. Together with the extensive fiber optics portfolio from SICK, they are simply unbeatable.
