Sick WFS3-40N415 Fork Sensor – High-Speed NPN Label Detection

The Sick WFS3-40N415 Fork Sensor (Part no. 6043920) is a high-performance optical sensor designed for precise and fast label detection in industrial automation. Featuring a 3 mm fork width and 42 mm fork depth, it reliably detects gaps as small as 2 mm between labels, ensuring accurate processing in packaging, printing, and labeling industries.

This sensor operates with an infrared LED light source, providing consistent and stable detection. Its 10 kHz switching frequency and ultra-fast response time of ≤ 50 µs make it ideal for high-speed production lines. With ± 20 µs stability and 40 µs jitter, it guarantees high precision and reliability even in challenging environments.

The NPN switching output offers seamless integration into various control systems, handling up to 100 mA output current with low residual voltage for stable operation. Its dynamic and 2-point teach-in function allows quick and easy adjustments, making it suitable for detecting different label types and materials.

Designed for industrial durability, the IP65-rated enclosure protects against dust, moisture, and environmental contaminants, ensuring long-lasting performance. The sensor features reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, making it a safe and reliable solution for automated label detection. Its M8 4-pin male connector enables quick installation, minimizing setup time and improving efficiency.
