Fork sensors and angle sensors

Photoelectric sensors

Available in:

6 Series

Fork sensors come with a light transmitter and receiver in a plastic or metal housing that are already aligned. This reduces your workload, saves valuable time during commissioning, and operates dependably.

In terms of accuracy, small part and detail detection and operational reliability, our fork sensors are unmatched.

Our large portfolio ensures the best function for virtually all application requirements:

  • Red light is a real all-rounder and is particularly easy to put into operation because of its visibility.

  • Infrared light is invisible to the human eye, which increases safety and minimizes interference from ambient light. We recommend its use in heavily contaminated environments.

  • Lasers ensure the best results for precise positioning and the detection of fast-moving objects.

Angle sensors are specifically used to detect larger objects. Their special housing design and beam geometry enable objects to be approached and detected from almost any orientation.

MiniSlot fork sensors, with their particularly compact design, are ideal in space-critical automation applications.
