Fork Sensor
The FS Fork Sensor is the answer for those looking a cost-effective way to simplify thru-beam applications. Most fiber optic thru-beam applications can be expensive and tedious to install or calibrate the two separate devices required for the application. With the FS Fork Sensor, the light source and the receiver are housed in the same sensor, making installation easy.
The FS Fork Sensor comes in 8 different models with gap depths ranging from ranging from 0.787″ (20mm) to 8.661″ (220mm). Each sensor is accurate enough to detect objects as small as 0.5mm. Every FS Fork Sensor is 10mm wide and housed anodized aluminum, rated IP67. This makes the FS Fork Sensor small enough to fit into most tight spaces while offering the accuracy of bigger thru-beam sensors.
