SICK NT6-03022 Sensor

NT6-03022, part number 1005822, is a compact SICK NT6 contrast sensor designed for precise, inline detection of printed or engraved contrasts in tight spaces. The rectangular housing measures 80 mm (L) × 30.4 mm (H) × 64 mm (D) and the sensing distance is ≤ 9 mm with a tolerance of ± 2 mm. It uses a visible LED light source that can be red or green (emission from the long or short side of the housing, interchangeable) with a light spot size of 1.5 mm × 5 mm for green light (1.5 mm × 4 mm for red light). Power is supplied from 10–30 V DC with ripple ≤ 5 Vpp and current draw under 80 mA; the device runs at a switching frequency up to 10 kHz and a response time > 50 µs. The switching output (voltage) is described as B: HIGH when near the supply, and LOW near ground, and there is an analog output ranging from 0.15 V to 6 V with a maximum load current of 200 mA. Adjustment is via a potentiometer, and the typical service life is about 10,000 hours at TA = +25 °C. This NT6 model is intended for high-contrast discrimination tasks in automated inspection and inline sorting, offering a compact, configurable solution for sensing small, high-contrast features.
