Optical fork sensor
42 mm, IP 65 | WFS SICK

The slim, forked shape of the WFS has been specially developed for the requirements of the labeling process. The design allows the sensor to be mounted directly on the edge of the dispenser. Difficulty in detecting the label gap is finally eliminated – the sensor's switching threshold can be taught-in while the label strip is running. The improved operating concept means the sensor can be adjusted to different labels quickly, easily and reliably. The fast response time guarantees exceptional repeat accuracy.
