The WF50-40B41CA00 Sick Fork Sensor is configured for reliable object detection in industrial automation lines. This WF50-40B41CA00 Sick Fork Sensor integrates 50 mm fork width, 42 mm fork depth, 0.2 mm minimum detectable object, and push-pull PNP/NPN switching output to provide stable signal performance. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with selectable light/dark switching.
In conveyor systems, packaging machines, and assembly equipment, the defined fork geometry allows accurate positioning and part detection. The 2-point teach-in function supports sensitivity adjustment, while 17 µs jitter enables consistent switching in high-speed industrial processes.
The WF50-40B41CA00 supports up to 100 mA output current and connects via an M8 4-pin connector. With IP65 enclosure protection, aluminum housing, and integrated circuit safeguards, this Sick Fork Sensor is suitable for continuous operation in industrial automation environments requiring precise optical detection.
