Sick WFS3-40P415 Fork Sensor

Sick WFS3-40P415 Fork Sensor – High-Speed Label Detection

The Sick WFS3-40P415 Fork Sensor (Part no. 6043919) is a high-precision optical sensor designed for fast and accurate label detection in industrial automation. Its 3 mm fork width and 42 mm fork depth allow it to detect gaps as small as 2 mm between labels, making it ideal for high-speed labeling applications in packaging, printing, and logistics industries.

This infrared LED-based sensor ensures precise detection with its 10 kHz switching frequency and ultra-fast response time of ≤ 50 µs, delivering exceptional accuracy and reliability. The teach-in function (dynamic and 2-point) enables easy sensitivity adjustments, accommodating a variety of label materials and background colors.

The PNP switching output ensures seamless integration into existing systems, handling up to 100 mA output current with low residual voltage for stable performance. The sensor is designed for efficient operation, consuming only 20 mA of current and featuring reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for enhanced safety.

With an IP65-rated enclosure, the WFS3-40P415 is highly resistant to dust, moisture, and industrial contaminants, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh environments. Its M8 4-pin male connector allows for quick and secure installation, reducing downtime in production lines.
