The SICK CONTRAST SENSOR NT6-N112, NT6-P112, NT6-03022, and NT6-03012 are engineered for precision contrast detection in packaging, labeling, and material handling automation. These sensors utilize a dual-color LED light source (red and green) at 560 nm wavelength, ensuring reliable differentiation between subtle contrast variations on moving surfaces. With a compact rectangular housing (80 mm x 30.4 mm x 64 mm) and IP67 protection, they withstand dust, moisture, and vibration. The 9 mm sensing distance, combined with a 2.5 mm round light spot, delivers pinpoint accuracy for high-speed applications. All models feature a potentiometer for easy sensitivity adjustment and include circuit protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and interference pulses. The NT6 series is ideal for OEMs and system integrators requiring robust, repeatable performance in demanding factory floor conditions.
