The WF30-60B416 Sick Fork Sensor is designed for precision object detection in industrial automation systems. This WF30-60B416 Sick Fork Sensor integrates 30 mm fork width, 59 mm fork depth, 0.2 mm minimum detectable object, and PNP/NPN switching output to deliver stable switching signals. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with selectable light/dark switching mode.
In packaging lines, conveyor monitoring, and automated assembly equipment, the defined fork geometry enables accurate detection of labels, films, and small parts. The 17 µs jitter supports fast response in continuous production environments. With IP65 enclosure rating and integrated circuit protection, the sensor maintains reliable operation under industrial conditions.
The WF30-60B416 maintains Sick engineering standards for fork sensor applications. Its aluminum housing ensures mechanical stability, while 20 mA current consumption allows efficient PLC integration. For applications requiring a 30 mm fork width and 59 mm detection depth, the WF30-60B416 Sick Fork Sensor provides consistent industrial performance.
