SICK Fork Photoelectric Sensor Fork Sensor 50 mm Detection Range NPN/PNP Output IP65

The SICK WFL50-95B416 Fork Sensor is a high-precision photoelectric fork sensor designed for use in demanding industrial automation environments. Utilizing a Class 1 laser, the sensor delivers consistent and accurate measurements across its 50 mm detection range. The compact, sturdy metal housing ensures IP65-rated protection against dust and water ingress, making it highly durable for harsh manufacturing or production settings.

This sensor features both NPN and PNP outputs with light/dark switching functionality, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of input configurations. Its fast response time of 100 microseconds allows quick detection and processing, crucial in high-speed industrial applications.

Threshold settings are easily and precisely adjustable via integrated IO-Link, onboard teach-in button, or plus/minus buttons. This flexibility enhances process reliability, allowing threshold adaptation during operation without halting systems.

The sensor includes a 4-pin M8 connector and supports stable communication through the IO-Link interface, facilitating seamless integration with PLCs and other controllers. Its robust aluminum housing supports use in challenging industrial environments while maintaining stable operation within temperature limits from -20°C to 50°C.

Common applications for the WFL50-95B416 fork sensor include detecting small parts such as needles or wires, transparent object detection, precise object positioning, presence and fill level checks in singulation processes, and monitoring accumulation on conveyors. The sensor's reliable performance and precision make it suitable across industrial manufacturing, automation, and quality control settings.

The sensor operates with a very precise Class 1 laser for high measurement accuracy. It offers simple and precise threshold setting via IO-Link, teach-in button, or plus/minus buttons. The response time is rapid at 100 microseconds for fast detection.
