SICK KTM-WN11181P Sensor
SICK KTM-WN11181P contrast sensor, part 1062200. Compact 12x31.5x21 mm housing, NPN, 12-24 V DC for print mark registration.
Overview
The SICK KTM-WN11181P (part number 1062200) is a contrast sensor of the KTM family in the compact 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm housing. With NPN output and a supply of 12 V DC to 24 V DC, it detects print marks on moving webs for registration and position control on packaging and printing machines.
How It Works
The sensor projects a light spot onto the web and measures the reflected intensity. A taught threshold separates the mark from the background; when the spot crosses the mark edge, the output switches with minimal delay, giving the machine a precise timing signal.

Installation and Setup Notes
Install the sensor at the rated distance with the spot on the mark path, and teach the threshold using the production web. Select the operating point so mark and background values leave enough margin. Verify registration stability across production speed before release.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the WN11181P code define?
It specifies light type, output and connection configuration of this KTM variant.
Can it handle glossy films?
Yes, correct angle setup and the modulated light manage gloss; validate on the actual web.
How is the threshold set?
By teach-in: the sensor stores the reflection values of mark and background and sets the switching point between them.
