The WF5-60B410 Sick Fork Sensor is designed for small-object detection in industrial automation systems. This WF5-60B410 Sick Fork Sensor integrates 5 mm fork width, 59 mm fork depth, 0.2 mm minimum detectable object, and PNP/NPN switching output for stable signal transmission. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with selectable light/dark switching.
In conveyors, packaging machines, and assembly lines, the defined fork geometry enables repeatable positioning and reliable part presence detection. The plus/minus adjustment supports sensitivity configuration and switching mode selection, while 17 µs jitter allows fast response in high-speed automation environments.
The WF5-60B410 connects via an M8 4-pin connector and supports up to 100 mA output current for PLC integration. With IP65 enclosure protection, aluminum housing, and integrated circuit safeguards, this Sick Fork Sensor ensures consistent operation in industrial conditions.
