Fork sensors for object detection

Adaptable and robust

This series, with mouth widths from 20 to 220 mm, can be optimally adapted to a given application by means of their sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching. Laser variants can be used to reliably detect even the smallest parts.

• Sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching for optimum adaptation to the application
• Sensitivity adjustment on the back of the fork
• Robust metal housing and glass optics for protection against environmental influences
• Transmitter and receiver are installed in the same housing, therefore easy and fast mounting (complex mounting brackets and extensive alignment not necessary)

Adaptable and robust

This series with 14 fork widths from 5 to 220 mm allows maximum flexibility for different requirements and installation situations in the application. It can be optimally adapted to a given application by means of sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching. Laser variants can be used to reliably detect even the smallest parts.

• High switching frequency with up to 10,000 / 5,000 Hz for reliable detection even in high-speed applications
• Red light and infrared as well as laser models available
• Sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching by means of potentiometer or via IO-Link
• Robust metal housing with degree of protection IP67 and glass optics for high safety against external influences
• Transmitter and receiver are installed in the same housing, therefore easy and fast mounting without any adjustment (complex mounting brackets and extensive alignment not necessary)
• Four application-specific sensor modes for optimum performance with different requirements – easy adjustment via IO-Link

Fork sensors in stainless steel housing

This series in stainless steel housing with mouth widths of 30 to 120 mm is ideal for areas in which high demands in terms of hygiene and resistance to cleaning agents are key considerations. It features a dual operating concept: Depending on the customer preference, all sensor functions can be configured via IO-Link or a simple, manual sensitivity adjustment can be carried out via potentiometer. It can be optimally adapted to a given application by means of sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching. Laser variants can be used to reliably detect even the smallest parts.

• High switching frequency with up to 10,000 / 5,000 Hz for reliable detection even in high-speed applications
• Red light and laser models available
• Sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching by means of potentiometer or via IO-Link
• Robust V4A stainless steel housing with degree of protection IP67 and glass optics for high safety against external influences
• ECOLAB certification for satisfying high demands with respect to resistance to cleaning agents
• Transmitter and receiver are installed in the same housing, therefore easy and fast mounting (complex mounting brackets and extensive alignment not necessary)
• Four application-specific sensor modes for optimum performance with different requirements – easy adjustment via IO-Link
