SICK KT5W-2N1116 Contrast Sensor (1018045)

The SICK KT5W-2N1116 is a high-speed RGB contrast sensor designed for precision color mark detection in fast-moving production environments. With static 2-point teach-in, 50 μs response time, and RGB LED technology, it delivers accurate switching for color contrast differentiation across diverse surfaces.

Built in a rugged zinc diecast housing with IP67 protection, it is engineered to perform reliably in industrial printing, packaging, and labeling systems.
