Delock sensor fotoelétrico em forquilha 5 mm tipo F com 4 extremidades de cabo abertas PNP L/D comutável 2 m

In automated production lines, detecting small, fast-moving objects without physical contact is critical for maintaining throughput and preventing jams. The Delock 91869 forked light barrier solves this challenge with a precise 5 mm sensing gap and a fast response time, ensuring reliable detection of tiny components, labels, or edge positions even in dusty or wet environments thanks to its IP67-rated housing.

Who is it for

This sensor is ideal for industrial automation engineers, machine builders, and maintenance technicians who need a robust, easy-to-integrate optical sensor for object detection, position verification, or counting tasks. It suits applications in packaging, electronics assembly, and conveyor systems where space is limited and reliability is paramount.

Tips

For optimal performance, mount the sensor securely to avoid vibration and ensure the object passes through the center of the fork gap. Use the L/D switch to match your application logic: light-on for detecting objects that block the beam, dark-on for detecting objects that reflect the beam. The open cable ends allow custom connector assembly; follow standard wiring color codes for PNP sensors (brown: +V, blue: 0V, black: output, white: L/D select).
