Fork sensors and optical windows display characteristic properties as a result of their special housing design: thanks to their precise beam guidance they are particularly suitable for small part
detection. The sensors are also easy to mount because no timeconsuming adjustment is required.
The fork sensors of the FGL-IK and FGL-RK series detect parts
from a diameter of 0.2 mm. They are used, for example, for small
part detection on conveyor sections and chutes or for counting
bulk goods on vibration conveyors. Rotational speed measurement is another typical application. The optical windows of the
FG series are employed, for example, for detecting thread breaks
in the textile industry, for part detection in transparent tubes in
pneumatic conveyors, or for ejection detection. Fork sensors and
optical windows are frequently the first choice for use in plants
subject to strong vibrations, in particular, thanks to their robust
housings and the design-related fixed light beam.

Precise detection and user-friendly details: plastic fork sensors
Fork sensors with plastic housings (FGL-RK and -IK series) are, in
all respects, perfectly thought-through products. On the one hand,
they are particularly shatterproof thanks to the elastic housing
material, on the other hand, their numerous user-friendly detail
solutions are highly impressive. Thus, in addition to the usual
mounting holes, threaded sleeves and dovetail designs are also integrated. In combination with the MBD-S94 bracket, the latter
permits flexible mounting in almost any desired position in the
process. Operation by means of dynamic teach-in is also very
easy: the measurement sensitivity can be directly adjusted on
moving objects. In addition, the switching distance can be checked
anytime thanks to the all-round visibility of the indicator LEDs.
Even a product that, at first glance, appears simple can be quite
refined!
