Fork sensors for small parts

Thanks to their high switching frequency of up to 10,000 Hz, this is also possible with fast automation processes. Users benefit from maximum flexibility: The sensors of the GS 04B series are available in 14 different fork widths from 5 to 220 millimeters. Four fork widths from 30 to 120 millimeters are available for the GS(L) 08B series. This makes them suitable for different industries - for example in the field of packaging or in assembly and handling technology.

The sensors of the GS 04B and GS 08B series can be configured either via IO-Link or manually using a potentiometer. Sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching ensure maximum reliability. Useful when there are high demands on hygiene and resistance to cleaning agents: The GS(L) 08B series offers a robust, durable V4A stainless steel housing that is suitable for clean rooms. It is ECOLAB-certified and meets the high requirements of protection class IP67.
