Fork Sensor

This Fork Sensor by Wadia Electronic Enterprise (Product Code: 21420) is a compact, U-shaped photoelectric sensor that integrates both transmitter and receiver in a single housing, eliminating alignment hassles. It is ideal for high-speed detection of small objects (e.g., labels, perforations, tiny parts) in confined 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 Machines – Monitoring thread breaks or misprints.

Key Specifications:

✔ Sensor Type: Fork (U-shaped Through-Beam)
✔ Material: Mild Steel (Durable for industrial use)
✔ Model: PNP NO (Normally Open, Positive Logic)
✔ Gap/Thickness: 12mm (Compact fork opening)
