The WF30-40B41CA70 Sick Fork Sensor is configured for precise object monitoring in industrial automation systems. This WF30-40B41CA70 Sick Fork Sensor integrates 30 mm fork width, 42 mm fork depth, 0.2 mm minimum detectable object, and push-pull PNP/NPN output for reliable switching control. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with selectable light/dark switching functionality.
In conveyor lines, packaging machines, and assembly stations, the defined fork geometry allows accurate detection of labels, thin materials, and small components. The 40 µs jitter ensures stable response under dynamic motion. With IP65 enclosure rating and integrated circuit protection, the sensor supports consistent operation in industrial environments.
The WF30-40B41CA70 maintains Sick engineering standards for mid-range fork detection applications. Its aluminum housing provides mechanical stability, while 40 mA current consumption supports integration into PLC-based control systems. For applications requiring stable push-pull output and controlled sensitivity adjustment, the WF30-40B41CA70 Sick Fork Sensor delivers dependable industrial performance.
