SICK Ultrasonic Photoelectric Sensor, Fork Sensor

The innovative, small UFS fork sensor from SICK allows space-saving installation, for example directly on the dispensing edge of a labeling machine. Thanks to ultrasonic technology, the UFS reliably detects a variety of labels on carrier material – regardless of their color, pattern, marking, transparency level and gloss level. It flawlessly detects even very small label gaps of just 1 mm in size. And the display shows its actual operating reserve at a glance.

The IO-Link communication interface also opens up numerous possibilities such as fine adjustment, analyses and monitoring, e.g., for automatic reporting of a web tear, as well as teach-in and sensor configuration during the running process.

Small housing with especially slim lower flange (5.5 mm high)
Detects numerous labels and films – even transparent materials
Detects label separations of 1 mm and greater
Display shows teach-in quality and operating reserve
Intelligent sensor with integrated IO-Link interface

Space-saving installation with minimized belt flutter when mounted on the dispensing edge
Detects numerous labels and films – even transparent materials
Reduction in waste as more labels fit on the carrier material
Fast and easy commissioning through direct feedback on the quality of the teach-in or run via a bar graph
Reduces downtimes, as teach-in and configuration of settings can be performed via IO-Link while the process is running
