3.2.2 Product characteristics
Contrast sensors are primarily used in packaging or printing machines for detecting
marks.
However, they can also be used in any application based on making a distinction
between contrasts.
KTS contrast sensors detect even the smallest contrasts at the highest speeds, such as
print marks on foils or packaging. They detect minute grayscale variations between the
mark and the background on matte, shiny, or transparent surfaces. Device types are
available with different methods of contrast resolution and different teach-in variants
for a wide range of requirements.
