SICK Fork Sensor Photoelectric Sensor, 50 mm Detection Range - WFL50-40B41CA00

OverviewAt a glanceVery precise Class 1 laser Simple and precise setting of the switching threshold via IO-Link, teach-in button, or plus/minus buttons Fast response time: 100 µs PNP and NPN switching output Light/dark switching function Stable aluminum housing with IP 65 enclosure rating Smart sensor with integrated IO-Link interfaceYour BenefitA highly precise laser beam ensures consistent measurement accuracy along the entire measuring range and reliable detection of extremely small objects A visible laser beam enables easy alignment and fast adjustment Reliable and simple setting via teach-in button ensures high process reliability A wide range of different fork sizes increases mounting flexibility Stable aluminum housing for use in harsh industrial environments Thanks to IO-Link or external teach-in, the switching threshold can be adapted while the process is running, increasing process reliability Easy to access data from the PLC via IO-LinkWF Laser fork sensors are characterized by fast response times and a highly focused visible laser beam. The sender and receiver operate using a through-beam design and are in a single housing. No adjustments therefore need to be made. The sensors guarantee exceptionally high positioning accuracy and impress with their extremely fast response times and very fine resolution. As a result, the sensors are particularly suitable for detecting extremely small objects such as needles or wires. They are also recommended for the detection of transparent objects. A total of 21 WF Laser variants are available for use in a wide range of applications.ApplicationsDetecting small parts Detecting transparent objects Precise object positioning Checking presence and fill level in the singulation system Checking presence and monitoring accumulation on singulation conveyors Tip compensation Presence and backup monitorinNoteProduct details cover the whole product family.
