Optical fork sensor
BANNER ENGINEERING

Slot sensors, sometimes called optical fork sensors because of their "forked" shape, detect objects that pass between the two arms--one with the emitter, the other with the receiver. The fixed slot width provides reliable opposed-mode sensing of objects as small as 0.30 mm.
