The WF50-40B41CA71 Sick Fork Sensor is designed for precise object detection in industrial automation systems. This WF50-40B41CA71 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 ensure consistent signal performance. It belongs to the WFE series and operates using an optical detection principle with configurable teach-in functions.
In conveyor handling, packaging machines, and automated assembly lines, the defined fork geometry supports accurate part detection and positioning. The selectable light/dark switching and 40 µs jitter help maintain stable output even in high-speed industrial processes.
The WF50-40B41CA71 supports up to 100 mA output current and connects through an M8 4-pin connector. With IP65 enclosure rating, aluminum housing, and integrated circuit protection, this Sick Fork Sensor is suitable for continuous industrial automation environments requiring reliable optical detection.
