1069090

Overview

The SICK 1069090 is a KT10-2 photoelectric sensor designed for high-speed detection of print marks and contrast changes. It utilizes RGB LED technology to ensure reliable performance on reflective surfaces, glossy foils, and pale markings. The device features automatic drift correction to compensate for lens dirt and includes five storage banks for settings. Key technical specifications include a switching frequency of 25 kHz, jitter below 10 μs, and an easy-to-read bar graph display for status monitoring.

Feature Summary

• RGB LED technology enables precise detection of low-contrast marks and pale colors.
• Automatic drift correction compensates for lens contamination during operation.
• Two interchangeable light exits allow flexible mounting configurations.
• Fast switching frequency supports high-throughput production environments.

Applications

• Packaging industry mark detection
• Printing quality control
• Glossy foil inspection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical connection type and housing material requirements against your system design before procurement. Confirm that the ambient lighting conditions do not exceed the sensor's specified interference immunity limits. Ensure the mounting hardware is compatible with the interchangeable light exit options provided by the KT10-2 series.

Selection Notes

Select this model when detecting difficult contrasts such as pale yellow on white paper or faded prints. It is suitable for applications requiring rapid response times and resistance to environmental dirt accumulation. Consider the two-light-exit feature if space constraints require alternative mounting angles.
