Information About KT5G-2P2211
The KT5G-2P2211 is part of the SICK KT5 Series of contrast sensors, developed for detecting printed marks and subtle contrast variations with high repeatability. It operates with a fixed 20 mm sensing distance from the front edge of the lens and evaluates contrast using a single sensing channel. The sensor features a robust zinc die-cast housing and adjustable sensitivity via a perpendicular potentiometer. Designed for industrial use, it supports high switching frequencies and integrates easily using a standard M12 connector.
