Fork sensors

The main feature of our fork sensors is their reliability with utmost accuracy.Even very small objects are reliably detected.High switching frequencies enable the detection of moving objects.All versions have a plug connection and usevisible red light. A decisive feature for the reliable detection of small objects is the resolution ofthe beam grid and its time response.The resolution of our optical windows gua-rantees a reliable detection of parts as small as 0.8 mm.Deadlocks can be avoi-ded thanks to the dynamic signal evaluation and parts can be detected,e.g. through transparent tubes.The adjustable length of the output signal (from 10 to300 ms) enables a maximum degree of compatibility with your PLC.
