SICK Fork Sensor Photoelectric Sensor, Fork Sensor

Overview

At a glance

• Clearly visible red emitted light
• No setup required: The sensor is ready for operation immediately
• Receive indicator, visible all-round
• 5 fork sizes with a maximum depth of 120 mm and a maximum width of 180 mm
• Stable aluminum housing with IP 67 enclosure rating

Your Benefit

• Fixed parameters guarantee a high level of operational safety with extremely simple commissioning
• A visible red light enables easy alignment of the WFM
• The all-round visible receive indicator enables constant process control
• A wide range of different fork sizes increases installation flexibility
• Stable aluminum housing for use in harsh industrial environments

The WFM fork sensors are extremely quick and easy to mount and commission thanks to plug and play. Their yellow receive indicator can be seen all the way round, providing optimum feedback on the switching behavior of the WFM. Since the sender and receiver are integrated within the same housing, there is no need for any complex alignment work, allowing detection tasks to be prepared and completed quickly and easily. WFM have a rugged aluminum housing and are available in five different designs with fork widths ranging from 30 mm to 180 mm and fork depths of between 40 mm and 120 mm. SICK's fork sensors are suited to numerous applications, such as detecting parts in production processes, checking whether various objects are present, or intralogistic processes.

Applications

• Detecting objects in production processes
• Monitoring the presence of different objects
• Level monitoring for the step conveyor
• Detection on the rotary magazine table
• Shoe sorter pin monitoring
