Our small BGL MiniSlot series fork sensors in a plastic housing are ideal for use in various automation applications where normal photoelectronic sensors are too large to fit. Thanks to their particularly compact size, they require significantly less installation space than conventional fork sensors. In addition, six different designs and a wide variety of connection options make the sensors even more flexible to use.
Their highly visible light beams make them simple to place correctly and adjust. The sensors are fully potted, which makes them resistant to vibrations, shocks and other environmental influences, and guarded with a IP64 protection rating. The bright LEDs also indicate the operating status and allow you to accurately read its diagnostics.
Features
