Sick WFS3-40P415 Fork Sensor

Sick WFS3-40P415 Fork Sensor

The Sick WFS3-40P415 Fork Sensor (6043919) from the IME12 series is a compact and high-performance fork sensor designed for precise label and gap detection in automated packaging systems. Utilizing an optical detection principle with a stable infrared LED, it ensures accurate sensing even at high conveyor speeds.

With a 3 mm fork width and 42 mm fork depth, the sensor reliably detects minimum 2 mm gaps or labels, making it ideal for tight-tolerance applications. It supports 2-point teach-in and dynamic teach-in modes, along with Light/Dark switching, allowing quick and flexible configuration.

Operating on 10–30 V DC, it offers a fast ≤ 50 µs response time and 10 kHz switching frequency for high-speed production lines. The PNP switching output, M8 4-pin connector, and IP65 enclosure rating ensure easy installation, electrical protection, and dependable industrial performance.
