SICK KTS-WB41141142ZZZZ Sensor
SICK KTS-WB41141142ZZZZ contrast sensor, part 1218200. Print mark registration with selectable light colors for packaging machines.
Overview
The SICK KTS-WB41141142ZZZZ (part number 1218200) is a contrast sensor of the KTS family. It scans print marks and contrast edges on packaging webs with selectable light colors and fast evaluation, providing registration signals for printing, packaging and labeling machinery.
How It Works
The sensor illuminates the web with a chosen light color and measures the intensity of the reflection. With the taught threshold between mark and background, the output switches exactly at the mark edge, producing a repeatable registration pulse for the machine control.

Installation and Setup Notes
Set the working distance per family guidance and select the light color with maximum contrast between mark and background. Teach the threshold with the production web, verify stability at full speed, and clean the optics as part of the maintenance routine in dusty printing environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which light color should be used?
The one achieving the largest contrast difference between mark and background; the family provides selectable colors for this purpose.
Can it detect transparent marks on opaque film?
Yes, with suitable light color selection; validate on the actual material.
How does it differ from the KTM family?
KTS and KTM both detect contrast marks; they differ in housing, optics and interface options.
