MF Fork Sensors: Simple Detection in a Miniature Size

MF fork sensors are micro through-beam photoelectric sensors that combine a sender and receiver in a single housing. The sensors are characterized by their particularly small enclosure size and a wide range of mounting options. Thanks to their compact design, the micro fork sensors take up very little space and make integration even easier thanks to the different mounting brackets of the individual variants. As the sensors do not require teach-in or adjustment parameters, no commissioning is necessary. Thanks to this design, the fork sensor prevents operating errors during the process. The sensors detect opaque materials, which is why they are often used for plastic transport system elements.

MF at a Glance

Benefits

  • Space-saving installation
  • Suitable mounting options for easy integration
  • Wide range of material applications – from metal to plastic
  • Saves time during installation
  • Fast object detection increases process speed
  • More flexibility for use in dusty and damp environments
  • Redundant acquisition and output of statuses for reliable operation
  • Accurate positioning ensures higher process quality

Features

  • Miniature design (with dimensions up to 26 mm)
  • Choice of different integrated mounting options
  • Infrared light for detecting opaque materials
  • Used in simple applications, the micro fork sensor does not require teach-in or complex settings
  • Switching frequency of 4 kHz and response time of 100 µs
  • Two opposing switching signals: Output 1 is active when the fork opening is empty, output 2 is active when an object is detected
  • IP67 enclosure rating
  • Repeatability of 0.01 mm

Advantages

Micro Fork Sensor with Various Mounting Options for Easy Integration in Confined Spaces

The very compact through-beam photoelectric sensors in a fork design are particularly suitable for confined spaces. A selection of product variants with different mounting options ensures installation flexibility. The sensors are used in particular for position detection in transport systems.

  • Miniature Fork Sensor for Confined Spaces: With its miniature housing, the micro fork sensor from SICK takes up very little space. This enables simple integration into machines and processes.
  • Optical Solution for Simple Position Detection: The micro fork sensors, which work with infrared light, detect not only metal but also other opaque materials such as plastic. The sensors are used in transport systems in particular, as lightweight plastic elements can be used for lightweight construction.
  • Plug and Play – Simple Installation Without Commissioning: SICK micro fork sensors are ready for immediate use – without any teach-in or adjustments, which saves time. Incorrect operation or maladjustment of the sensor is not possible during regular operation.

Micro fork sensors from SICK impress with their miniature design, numerous mounting variants and easy installation in transport systems.
