Fork sensors

The fork sensors of the FGL-IK and FGL-RK series detect parts from a diameter of 0.2 mm. They are used, for example, for small part detection on conveyor sections and chutes or for counting bulk goods on vibration conveyors. Rotational speed measurement is another typical application. The optical windows of the FG series are employed, for example, for detecting thread breaks in the textile industry, for part detection in transparent tubes in pneumatic conveyors, or for ejection detection.

Operation by means of dynamic teach-in also very easy: the measurement sensitivity can be directly adjusted on moving objects. In addition, the switching distance can be checked anytime thanks to the all-round visibility of the Indicator LEDs.
