Sick Fork sensor

The WFM180-120P321 fork sensor from Sick is a highly advanced optical sensor designed for precise motion and object detection. With a fork width of 180 mm and a fork depth of 124 mm, this sensor is ideal for applications where object detection within a defined area is required. The sensor uses a red LED light emitter to detect objects with a minimum size of 1 mm. The switching frequency of 4 kHz and the fast response time of 125 µs ensure reliable and timely reactions to movements. The fork sensor is equipped with a PNP switching output and operates in the dark-on mode, making it versatile for various applications. Connection is made via a 3-pin M8 connector, facilitating integration into existing systems. Made from robust aluminum, the sensor offers high durability and reliability in industrial applications.
