SICK Optical Photoelectric Fork Sensor 2 mm, NPN/PNP Output, IP65 Aluminium Housing

SICK WF2-40B410 Optical Photoelectric Fork Sensor is a high-performance sensor designed for precise and fast detection of small objects in industrial automation systems. It features a 2 mm detection range and utilizes an infrared LED light source at 850 nm wavelength to enable highly accurate sensing in manufacturing, packaging, and assembly processes.

The sensor supports a wide supply voltage range of 10 - 30 V DC, making it compatible with most industrial power rails. The NPN/PNP selectable output along with a 4-pin M8 male connector allow easy integration into various control architectures. The device incorporates protection features such as reverse polarity and short circuit prevention, enhancing durability under challenging operational conditions.

Encased in a robust aluminium housing with an IP65 rating, the sensor is resistant to dust and water ingress, suitable for use in tough manufacturing environments. It operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and can be panel mounted for straightforward installation in control panels and machinery.

The sensor is ideal for tasks requiring fast response and small object detection including label presence verification on packaging lines, print registration, edge detection, component detection on pick-and-place equipment, as well as shaft or position sensing in assembly rigs. Sensitivity and light/dark switching are user-adjustable via front panel buttons with visible indicators.
