The UFW6-73B717IZZ Sick Fork Sensor is designed for detecting thin materials with 0.2 mm minimum detectable object capability in industrial automation systems. This model provides 60 mm fork width, 20–30 V DC supply, and 6 ms response time along with push-pull PNP/NPN switching output. UFW6-73B717IZZ belongs to the WFE series and supports light/dark switching for controlled detection.
In conveyor systems, packaging equipment, label inspection, and assembly automation, the UFW6-73B717IZZ Sick Fork Sensor ensures stable detection across a wider fork opening. One-point and two-point adjustment functions enable accurate setup, while reverse polarity and short-circuit protection support safe electrical integration in control panels.
The Sick UFW6-73B717IZZ Fork Sensor integrates through its zinc diecast and PBT housing with M12 5-pin connection and 100 mA output capacity. With IP65 enclosure rating and controlled ripple below 10%, the UFW6-73B717IZZ Sick Fork Sensor within the WFE series delivers consistent detection performance for industrial automation applications in India.
