The WF5-60B41CA00 Sick Fork Sensor is engineered for compact and precise object detection in industrial automation systems. This WF5-60B41CA00 Sick Fork Sensor integrates 5 mm fork width, 59 mm fork depth, 0.2 mm minimum detectable object, and push-pull PNP/NPN switching output for reliable PLC interfacing. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with selectable light/dark switching.
In conveyor tracking, packaging equipment, and automated assembly stations, the defined fork geometry ensures accurate part positioning and repeatable detection. The plus/minus adjustment with 2-point teach-in supports sensitivity configuration, while 17 µs jitter enables stable response in high-speed production environments.
The WF5-60B41CA00 connects through an M8 4-pin connector and supports up to 100 mA output current. With IP65 enclosure protection, aluminum housing, and integrated circuit safeguards, this Sick Fork Sensor maintains consistent performance under industrial operating conditions.
