SICK Fork Photoelectric Sensor 30 mm, NPN/PNP Output, Infrared LED, Aluminium Housing, IP65

The SICK WF30-40B410 Fork Photoelectric Sensor is engineered for precise, non-contact detection of labels and other thin media in automated industrial applications. Featuring a compact fork-style design, this sensor utilizes an infrared LED light source to generate an interruption beam ideal for identifying semi-translucent materials such as labels.

Housed in a robust aluminium casing, the sensor is built to withstand industrial environments and facilitates efficient heat dissipation. The IP65 ingress protection classification ensures resistance against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for demanding conditions while not designed for submersion.

The sensor supports both NPN and PNP output types allowing versatile connectivity with common control circuits. Its 30 mm detection range and fast 100 µs response time enable reliable operation even on high-speed packaging and labeling lines.

Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C, the WF30-40B410 is functional across a wide spectrum of ambient conditions. Installation is streamlined through a hole-type mount and a four-pin terminal connector simplifies wiring and replacement tasks.

Compliant with the EN 60068-2-27 standard, this sensor has proven mechanical shock resistance, enhancing operational reliability in manufacturing and automation systems. Typical applications include label detection on conveyor belts, edge sensing in labeling machines, pick-and-place verification, and printing registration checks in web handling.

Fork sensor style designed for label and object detection in automated systems. NPN and PNP selectable output types provide flexible control integration. Infrared LED light source offers reliable detection of thin and semi-translucent materials.

Compact aluminium housing ensures mechanical robustness and heat dissipation. IP65 rating protects sensor from dust ingress and water jets for industrial environments. Operating temperature range from -20°C to 60°C supports diverse application conditions.
