SICK Contrast Sensor RGB LED 13 mm, PNP/NPN, 100 mA, IP67 28.8V

This contrast sensor detects differences in surface reflectivity and provides a Compact solution for automated inspection and control tasks. Designed for industrial environments, it integrates Visual indication and a robust connector Interface to suit machine-mounted sensing in production and process systems.

• RGB LED light source for immediate colour-based feedback
• IP67 rating ensures operation in wet or dusty conditions
• PNP/NPN outputs allow direct connection to varied control inputs
• Switching frequency 50 kHz for high-speed detection tasks
• Maximum detection range 13mm to manage close-proximity sensing
• M12 connector enables straightforward field wiring and replacement

• Suitable for print contrast verification on packaging lines
• Ideal for part presence detection on high-speed conveyors
• Used with PLCs for colour-differentiated sorting
• Can be used for label edge detection in labelling machinery
• Used for surface inspection where Compact mounting is required

The sensor’s current capability is limited to 100 mA, so connected loads and wiring must not exceed this rating to prevent overload.

It operates up to a maximum supply of 28.8 V

It functions across a temperature span from −20 °C to 60 °C, permitting use in chilled storage interfaces and warm production zones.
