Information About NT6-P112
The NT6-P112 is part of the SICK NT6 series, developed for accurate registration and contrast detection in printing, packaging, labeling, and converting applications. This sensor uses dual-color LED technology to reliably differentiate contrast variations on a wide range of materials and surfaces. Its compact optical design with a small light spot enables precise mark detection even on narrow or closely spaced print features. The device integrates easily into industrial automation systems using standard 10–30 VDC power and a PNP switching output.
