FORK SENSORS

FGL .. -RK (red light)FGL .. -IK (infrared light)

High performance, low price.

Application picture FGL-RK

The new fork sensors of the FGL series have a whole range of innovative features facilitating their use in practice. The material for instance: The casings consist of light and robust polycarbonate instead of the much heavier metal versions that are ususally used. However they are just as torsion-resistant as the heavier versions. The output signal indicator is particularly innovative, as the LEDs are visible from all sides. Another decisive feature for the appli- cation of sensors are the mounting possibilities: In addition to the standard mounting holes, the FGL can also be mounted in a very exible way by means of mounting sleeves on the back and a dovetail. Another strength of the new series is the detection of very small parts: With the FGL it is possible to detect even objects with a diameter of only 0.2 mm in a reliable way. The sensitivity adjustment is effected with our approved teach-in operation.
