Sick Fork Sensor Photoelectric Sensor, 80 mm Detection Range / 2122618

OverviewAt a glanceInfrared light source Simple and precise setting of the switching threshold via IO-Link, teach-in button, or plus/minus buttons Fast response time: 100 μs PNP and NPN switching output Light/dark switching function Stable aluminum housing with IP 65 enclosure rating Smart sensor with integrated IO-Link interfaceYour BenefitFast response time and fine resolution ensure reliable detection even at very high object speeds Infrared light source provides excellent ambient light immunity User-friendly setting via IO-Link, teach-in button, or plus/minus buttons A wide range of different fork sizes enables flexible installation Stable aluminum housing for use in harsh industrial environments Thanks to IO-Link or external teach-in, the switching threshold can be adapted while the process is running, increasing process reliability Easy to access data from the PLC via IO-LinkWFnext fork sensors are at work in the detection of labels, marks, double sheets, holes, edges, and various objects. Thanks to the design principle that sees both the sender and receiver integrated in a single housing, no adjustment is necessary. This easy-to-use sensor line includes fork widths between 2 mm and 120 mm with fork depths of 40 mm, 60 mm, and 95 mm. Extremely fast response times and fine resolution means that WFnext fork sensors from SICK can even detect small and flat objects, as well as those traveling at high speeds.ApplicationsDetecting edges, holes, and objects in production processes at high speeds Monitoring the presence of different objects Detecting opaque labels Fine positioning the body Check of product heightNoteProduct details cover the whole product family.
