The KT5 Contrast Sensor from SICK is ideal for high precision contrast detection, even on highly reflective materials. The 3 colour LED technology automatically selects the best light source needed to deliver the best contrast. These contrast sensors are easy and speedy to set up, and with the individual alignment and mounting options, this sensor is more than suitable for a wide range of tasks. The operating temperature ranges between -10°C and 55°C. It has a high switching frequency up to 10kHz for a quick machine process.
