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.
At a glance:
- Fixed parameters guarantee a high level of operational safety with extremely simple commissioning
- A visible red light enables easy alignment of the WFM
- The all-round visible receive indicator enables constant process control
- A wide range of different fork sizes increases installation flexibility
- Stable aluminum housing for use in harsh industrial environments
Features:
- Clearly visible red emitted light
- No setup required: The sensor is ready for operation immediately
- Receive indicator, visible all-round
- 5 fork sizes with a maximum depth of 120 mm and a maximum width of 180 mm
- M12Stable aluminum housing with IP 67 enclosure rating

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.
- Simply clever order picking verification
- The PLG is mounted at each storage bay and has an integrated job LED to display pick position. The PLG’s single-sided reflector strip saves space in the bin and reduces damage and installation costs.
- The integrated job LED reduces the order picker’s search time
- Scanning range up to 2 m
- Position sensors for T-slot
- MPS-T position sensors continuously detect the piston position of pneumatic actuators using a direct, non-contact method. They can be mounted in T-slots without the need for additional accessories.
- The sensor settings can be adjusted during installation and during operation later on, using a teach pad or – depending on the variant – using IO-Link.
- The sensors continuously supply data via analog outputs or IO-Link, enabling flexible machine concepts and making it possible to solve tasks in areas such as quality monitoring and process control in conjunction with pneumatic cylinders and drives.
- This continuous transfer of position data upgrades the functionality of the pneumatic cylinders by making them more intelligent – and, as a result, more versatile.
- Condition Monitoring sensors for vibration, shock, and temperature monitoring
- The Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring sensor allows for continuous condition-based monitoring of, for example, motors, pumps, conveyor systems or fans. It measures vibrations, shocks, and temperature, thereby providing indications of potential faults and machine failures. If the measured values exceed the individually configurable thresholds, an alert is output. For vibration values, the vibration monitoring thresholds for machines according to ISO 10816-3 can be implemented via a multi-stage alert.
- The sensor can be integrated into the machine or system via IO-Link or a simple alarm-based switching signal.
- Whether on-site or in conjunction with a Cloud Service: The Multi Physics Box creates a data foundation that can be used to avoid unplanned downtime and effectively lower costs.
- 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.
