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 use visible red light.

Optical windows

Rahmenlichtschranken

A decisive feature for the reliable detection of small objects is the resolution of the beam grid and its time response.
 
The resolution of our optical windows guarantees a reliable detection of parts as small as 0.8 mm. Deadlocks can be avoided 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 to
300 ms) enables a maximum degree of compatibility with your PLC.
