The SICK WF Series Fork Sensor features the sender and receiver enclosed in the same IP65-rated housing, reducing alignment process complexities. The 100μs response time and high resolution makes this series ideally suited for the detection of very small and flat objects, with a minimum object detection size down to .2mm. Units come with an integrated IO-Link, with variants offering advanced functions including decentralized debouncing, and time measurement or a high-speed counter. Thanks to the smart sensor configuration and/or use of the external teach-in, adjustment can occur without the need for process downtime.
