WF Laser fork sensors are characterized by fast response times and a highly focused visible laser beam. The sender and receiver operate using a through-beam design and are in a single housing. No adjustments therefore need to be made. The sensors guarantee exceptionally high positioning accuracy and impress with their extremely fast response times and very fine resolution. As a result, the sensors are particularly suitable for detecting extremely small objects such as needles or wires. They are also recommended for the detection of transparent objects. A total of 21 WF Laser variants are available for use in a wide range of applications.

Applications

Detecting small parts
Detecting transparent objects
Precise object positioning
Checking presence and fill level in the singulation system
Checking presence and monitoring accumulation on singulation conveyors
Tip compensation
Presence and backup monitorin
