Sick WFS3-40N415 Fork Sensor

Sick WFS3-40N415 Fork Sensor

The Sick WFS3-40N415 Fork Sensor (6043920) from the IME12 series is a high-precision fork sensor engineered for accurate label and gap detection in fast-moving production lines. Based on the optical detection principle with an infrared LED, it ensures stable and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

Featuring a 3 mm fork width and 42 mm fork depth, the sensor detects objects as small as 2 mm, making it ideal for precise label edge and spacing control. It offers 2-point teach-in and dynamic teach-in modes, along with Light/Dark switching for flexible setup.

Operating on 10–30 V DC, it delivers a ≤ 50 µs response time and 10 kHz switching frequency, ensuring exceptional speed and reliability. The M8 4-pin connector and IP65 protection rating provide easy installation and durable operation in automation systems.
