Overview

At a glance

Very precise Class 1 laser

Simple and precise setting of the switching threshold via IO-Link, teach-in button, or plus/minus buttons

Fast response time: 100 μs

PNP and NPN switching output

Light/dark switching function

Stable aluminum housing with IP 65 enclosure rating

Smart sensor with integrated IO-Link interface

Your Benefit

A highly precise laser beam ensures consistent measurement accuracy along the entire measuring range and reliable detection of extremely small objects

A visible laser beam enables easy alignment and fast adjustment

Reliable and simple setting via teach-in button ensures high process reliability

A wide range of different fork sizes increases mounting flexibility

Stable aluminum housing for use in harsh industrial environments

Thanks to IO-Link or external teach-in, the switching threshold can be adapted while the process is running, increasing process reliability

Easy to access data from the PLC via IO-Link

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
