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

This contrast sensor detects differences in reflectivity for automation and control tasks, operating in industrial environments where ruggedness and clear status indication are required. It uses an analogue output and provides Visual feedback via a multi‑colour light source, making it suitable for integration with control systems that need continuous contrast measurement and simple connectivity.

• Analogue output enables proportional signal for fine contrast discrimination
• RGB light source offers multi‑tone indication for quick diagnostics
• IP67 enclosure permits washdown and dust‑tight operation
• M12 connector simplifies secure electrical connection in panels
• Switching capability up to 50 kHz supports high‑speed detection demands
• PNP output limits wiring changes when interfacing with common PLC inputs

• Suitable for print registration alignment monitoring on production lines
• Ideal for label detection and colour contrast sorting systems
• Used with conveyor inspection stations for edge and gap sensing
• Can be used for pick‑and‑place verification in assembly automation

It functions reliably between -20°C and 60°C, covering typical shopfloor temperature ranges.

The device draws up to 100 mA maximum, so cabling and supply must accommodate that peak.

It accepts supply voltages up to 28.8 V, allowing use with common industrial DC sources.

It is specified to detect contrasts up to 13mm maximum from the sensing face.
