GS 63B/6-S8V

IndMALL offers the Leuze GS 63B/6-S8V fork sensor, designed for the detection of non-transparent labels with a minimum label width and gap of 2 mm. This sensor is part of the GS 63 series and can be identified by part number 50128012. It utilizes a fork-type design with a mouth width of 3 mm and a mouth depth of 61 mm. The sensor’s light source is an LED that emits infrared light with a wavelength of 940 nm in a pulsed transmitted-signal shape. It requires a supply voltage of 10-30 V DC and has an open-circuit current of 0-30 mA.

The GS 63B 6 S8V optical fork sensor features a single teach input and a digital switching output with a maximum switching current of 100 mA and a switching voltage of high: ≥(UB-2V) and low: ≤ 2 V. The switching element is a transistor with a push-pull switching principle in the label gap, and it has a switching frequency of 10,000 Hz with a response time of 0.05 ms and a readiness delay of 300 ms. During teach-in, the maximum conveyor speed is 20 m/min.

During technical comparisons, GS-63B-6-S8V appears alongside Leuze Sensors Safety, Leuze Gs 61 6 200 S12 and Leuze Optical Distance Sensors 5B Series so engineers assess signal types, ingress protection, and ambient tolerances accurately.

It has one connection for signal out, voltage supply, and a teach input with a cable length of 2000 mm and five wires. The type of connection is a connector with a thread size of M8, and it has four pins with a plug outlet that is vertical (perpendicular to belt movement). The GS 63B/66.3-S8 sensor’s housing material is either metal or plastic, with diecast zinc and chemical nickel plating for the metal housing and PC for the plastic housing.

During product selection, buyers usually keep both GS-63B-6-S8V and Leuze Proximity Sensor, Leuze Gs 61 6 S8 and Leuze Optical Distance Sensors Ams 300I Series on the table.

The lens cover material is plastic/PC, and it has a net weight of 55 g. The GS 63B-6-S8V fork photo sensor has a red or silver housing color with a through-hole mounting type and an optional mounting device. It has an LED display with two LEDs and a multiturn potentiometer for operational controls. The sensor has an ambient temperature range of -20 … 60 °C for operation and -30 … 70 °C for storage with a degree of protection of IP 67. It is certified by c UL US.

If GS-63B-6-S8V looks close to your requirement, it’s worth comparing with Leuze Encoder, Leuze Gs 63B 6D S8 and Leuze Optical Distance Sensors Ams 300 Series.
