Fork Sensors
Fork sensors made by SICK use a single enclosure that houses both the sender and the receiver, making adjustments simple. The sensors also pick up on extremely slight variations in light attenuation thanks to the focused, accurate light beam and the excellent detection accuracy. The benefits of these fork sensors include a wide range of fork diameters, simple attachment, and extraordinarily good ambient light immunity.
