The Applications

1. Print-Mark Detection in High-Speed Packaging

In automated packaging lines, detecting registration marks on film is critical to ensure precise cutting and sealing. The KTX-WP92142252ZZZZ quickly identifies color marks even on shiny or patterned film thanks to its RGB light source and microsecond response time. Its automatic wavelength adjustment maintains accuracy during material or color changes, reducing misalignment and film waste. This enables packaging machines to maintain consistent print-to-cut accuracy while operating at maximum speed.

2. Label Placement on Transparent Bottles

Beverage and cosmetic labeling systems often struggle to detect marks on clear or reflective containers. The KTX sensor’s intelligent RGB contrast technology accurately distinguishes between label edges and glossy bottle surfaces. This ensures labels are perfectly aligned and applied without overlap or skewing. Its compact design integrates easily into labeling heads, improving product aesthetics, reducing rework, and supporting uninterrupted production on high-speed lines.

3. Web Splice and Edge Monitoring in Film Converting

In printing and converting lines, precise monitoring of splices and web edges prevents misalignment and material waste. The KTX-WP92142252ZZZZ detects even subtle contrast shifts between layers or splices using high switching frequency and dynamic teach-in modes. It adapts automatically to different web materials like paper, foil, or film. This stable detection ensures consistent print registration, smoother rewinding, and reduced downtime during roll changes.

4. Component Verification in Electronics Assembly

Electronics and automotive production lines require accurate detection of marks, coatings, or tapes with minimal contrast. The KTX-WP92142252ZZZZ excels in recognizing faint color or brightness differences on compact assemblies. Its 3 µs response and narrow light spot make it ideal for verifying component presence, correct label positioning, or color coding. The result is improved assembly precision, fewer inspection errors, and stable automation performance even in fast-paced environments.
