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

This contrast sensor provides reliable detection of contrast differences in industrial environments, designed for panel-mounted integration and continuous operation across a wide temperature range. It uses an RGB LED light source and an on-device LED status display to indicate detection states, while a robust Vistal housing and IP67 ingress protection make it suitable for demanding production and assembly settings.

• 50kHz switching frequency enables high-speed detection for Rapid processes
• 13mm maximum detection supports small-target identification
• PNP output simplifies integration with common control systems
• 100mA maximum current limits power draw in tight budgets
• 28.8V maximum supply allows use with typical industrial voltages
• M12 male connector permits secure, quick panel connections

• Suitable for print registration checks on high-speed labellers
• Ideal for part presence verification on pick-and-place lines
• Used for colour/contrast sorting in packaging machinery
• Can be used for edge detection in automated inspection stations

It operates between -20°C and 60°C, allowing use in chilled storage areas and warm factory zones without thermal derating.

The Vistal housing combined with IP67 classification protects internal optics and electronics from dust ingress and temporary immersion.

An onboard LED status display communicates detection state while the RGB light source offers visible indication of sensor activity.
