Laser Type Sensor

This Laser Fork Sensor by Wadia Electronic Enterprise operates on the through-beam principle but integrates both the transmitter and receiver in a single U-shaped (fork) housing, eliminating alignment hassles. It is ideal for high-precision detection of small objects (like labels, perforations, or tiny parts) in compact spaces.

Typical Applications:

  • Label Detection – Verifying presence/absence on packaging lines.

  • Perforated Disk Scanning – Counting holes or slots in rotating discs.

  • Small Part Detection – Sensing tiny components in assembly automation.

  • Bottle Cap Inspection – Checking cap placement in filling machines.

  • Textile & Printing – Monitoring thread breaks or misaligned prints.

Key Specifications:

  • Sensor Type: Fork Type (U-shaped Through-Beam)

  • Material: Mild Steel (Robust for industrial use)

  • Switch Type: Photoelectric (Laser-based)

  • Model Options:

    • PNP NO (Normally Open)

    • PNP NC (Normally Closed)

    • NPN NO (NPN Normally Open)

    • NPN NC (NPN Normally Closed)

  • Cable Length: 4m (Easy installation)

  • Thickness/Gap Size: 16mm (Compact fork opening)

  • Voltage: 30V DC (Low-power operation)

  • Max Load Current: 300mA

  • Frequency: 50Hz

  • Corrosion Resistance: Yes (Suitable for harsh environments)

Key Advantages:

✔ No Alignment Needed – Built-in emitter & receiver ensure instant, error-free operation.
✔ High Precision – Laser detects tiny objects (e.g., labels, holes, small parts).
✔ Compact & Space-Saving – U-shaped design fits in tight spaces.
✔ Quick Replacement – Plug-and-play setup reduces downtime.
✔ Versatile Outputs – Supports PNP/NPN, NO/NC for PLC/controller compatibility.
