WFL2-60B416 Sick Fork Sensor is designed for compact and precise detection tasks in industrial automation systems. The Sick WFL2-60B416 Fork Sensor provides 2 mm fork width, 59 mm fork depth, 0.05 mm minimum detectable object, and PNP/NPN switching output. It belongs to the WFE series and supports light/dark switching with 2-point teach-in configuration. With IP65 enclosure rating and 100 mA output current, it integrates directly into PLC-based control panels.
In packaging lines, conveyor assemblies, and automated inspection stations, the WFL2-60B416 Sick Fork Sensor ensures stable detection of thin labels, films, and small mechanical parts. The narrow 2 mm fork width enables installation in restricted spaces. Optical detection combined with defined switching voltage characteristics supports consistent signal output in continuous production environments.
The Sick WFL2-60B416 Fork Sensor combines electrical protection features with aluminum housing for reliable long-term industrial operation. With 40 mA current consumption and 22 µs jitter, the model supports fast and repeatable switching performance. As part of the Sick fork sensor portfolio, WFL2-60B416 is suitable for OEMs and system integrators in Indian industrial automation applications requiring accurate object detection.
