Simple detection in a miniature size
Micro fork sensors are through-beam photoelectric sensors that combine a sender and receiver in a single housing. The sensors are characterized by their particularly small enclosure size and a wide range of mounting options. Thanks to their compact design, the micro fork sensors take up very little space and make integration even easier thanks to the different mounting brackets of the individual variants. As the sensors do not require teach-in or adjustment parameters, no commissioning is necessary. Thanks to this design, the fork sensor prevents operating errors during the process. The sensors detect opaque materials, which is why they are often used for plastic transport system elements.
