WFL2-40B41CA00 Sick Fork Sensor is designed for precise small-part detection in compact industrial automation systems. The Sick WFL2-40B41CA00 Fork Sensor provides 2 mm fork width, 42 mm fork depth, 0.05 mm minimum detectable object, and push-pull PNP/NPN output configuration. It belongs to the WFE series and supports light/dark switching with 1-point, 2-point, and dynamic teach-in adjustment. With IP65 enclosure rating and 100 mA output current, it integrates into PLC-controlled equipment.
In packaging machines, conveyor systems, and assembly automation, the WFL2-40B41CA00 Sick Fork Sensor enables stable detection of thin labels, wires, and small components. The narrow 2 mm fork width allows installation in limited mechanical spaces. Optical detection ensures repeatable switching, while push-pull output simplifies integration with industrial control panels.
The Sick WFL2-40B41CA00 Fork Sensor combines defined electrical characteristics with compact aluminum housing for reliable industrial operation. With 40 mA current consumption and 40 Β΅s jitter, the model supports fast response in automated processes. As part of the Sick fork sensor portfolio, WFL2-40B41CA00 is suitable for OEMs and system integrators in Indian industrial automation environments requiring consistent optical detection.
