FORK sensor WFM
- Plug-and-play fork sensors – connect and get started.
- The WFM fork sensors are extremely quick and easy to mount and commission thanks to plug and play.
- Their yellow receive indicator can be seen all the way round, providing optimum feedback on the switching behavior of the WFM. Since the sender and receiver are integrated within the same housing, there is no need for any complex alignment work, allowing detection tasks to be prepared and completed quickly and easily.
- WFM have a rugged aluminum housing and are available in five different designs with fork widths ranging from 30 mm to 180 mm and fork depths of between 40 mm and 120 mm.
- SICK’s fork sensors are suited to numerous applications, such as detecting parts in production processes, checking whether various objects are present, or intralogistic processes.

Switching automation light grids
- The FLG (frame light grid) switching automation light grid is the innovative solution in which the sender and receiver are combined in one housing for the detection of small parts.
- In dynamic operating mode, the FLG performs reject and removal control of workpieces in pressing and punching machines and also supports the packaging process.
- In static operating mode, it can be used for monitoring thread breakage.
- With a monitored area of 200 mm x 250 mm or 200 mm x 120 mm, it allows detection of small parts down to minimum dimensions of 2 mm over a large area.
SALE
- Quickly and easily mounted on the side or from above in T-slots without dismantling the cylinder end caps

- Safe object detection at high machine speeds
- The KTL180 reliably detects contrast differences even at high machine speeds.
- Thanks to its 31.2 kHz switching frequency, a high grayscale resolution and manual switching threshold adjustment, the KTL180 makes for safe object detection.
- The response time of 16 µs ensures stable and accurate detection of contrast differences, for example with print marks, even for high-gloss materials. The sensor can be quickly adjusted to the respective application with the 7-segment display and easy menu guidance.
- Various teach-in processes as well as an integrated job save increase the flexibility during commissioning in a large range of applications with very high process stability.
