The KRT18BM.V2/GV2T-M12 Leuze Analog Voltage Output Contrast Sensor is designed for precise contrast measurement in industrial automation systems. The KRT18BM.V2/GV2T-M12 operates with a 13 mm operating range and uses an RGB LED light source for stable contrast detection. It provides a single analog voltage output, supports 15,000 Hz switching frequency, and is classified under the KRT Series for industrial automation use.
This contrast sensor is commonly used in conveyors, packaging machinery, printing lines, and automated assembly systems where continuous contrast monitoring is required. The focused beam path and rectangular light spot geometry allow consistent detection on fast-moving materials. The analog voltage output enables smooth signal evaluation for control systems requiring proportional contrast information.
The KRT18BM.V2/GV2T-M12 reflects Leuze’s engineering focus on reliability and measurement stability. Its metal housing, IP67 and IP69K protection, and M12 5-pin connector support long-term operation in harsh environments. The bar graph LED display and multiturn potentiometer allow precise adjustment, making this Leuze Analog Voltage Output Contrast Sensor suitable for demanding industrial automation applications.
