SICK Optical Photoelectric Sensor, Fork Sensor

These WF Fork Sensors from SICK are ideal for using in applications such as the detection of labels on each package, marks and double sheets are detected before the cutting process, holes and edges and other different objects are accurately detected in the production processes to ensure everything runs to smoothly and to plan.

The WF sensors house both the sender and receiver together, meaning that no adjustment is needed. They have a maximum fork width of 120mm and a maximum fork depth of 95mm. These fork sensors will ensure the reliable detection of small and flat objects, as well as those that travel at very high speeds.
