The WF30-40B41CA71 Sick Fork Sensor is designed for controlled detection of thin objects in industrial automation lines. This WF30-40B41CA71 Sick Fork Sensor integrates 30 mm fork width, 42 mm fork depth, 0.2 mm minimum detectable object, and push-pull PNP/NPN output to ensure stable switching performance. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with selectable light/dark switching.
In conveyors, packaging systems, and assembly equipment, the defined fork geometry enables accurate monitoring of labels, films, and small mechanical parts. The 17 µs jitter supports consistent response during high-speed motion. With IP65 enclosure rating and integrated circuit protection, the sensor maintains reliable function in industrial environments.
The WF30-40B41CA71 maintains Sick engineering standards for fork-based object detection applications. Its aluminum housing supports mechanical durability, while 20 mA current consumption allows integration into PLC control systems. For applications requiring compact fork dimensions and stable push-pull switching output, the WF30-40B41CA71 Sick Fork Sensor provides dependable industrial operation.
