About the SICK WF Fork Sensors

A fork sensor is a through-beam sensor with the sender and receiver built into the two arms of one housing, so there is nothing to align. It is the standard way to detect label gaps on labelling machines and small parts passing through a guide.

SICK WF sensors come in fork widths from 2 mm (for labels on a backing web) up to 180 mm (for larger parts). WFS types are made specifically for label detection, including transparent labels; WF types with plus/minus buttons suit general detection; WFE types are the economical choice with potentiometer setting.

Pick the fork width to suit the material, and the fork depth to reach far enough into the web. We supply WF sensors as replacements on labelling machines and for new label applicators — send the type code or the fork dimensions and we match it.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which fork width do I need for label detection?

For labels on a backing web, a narrow fork (2–5 mm) such as a WFS3 is standard. Choose the fork depth so the beam reaches the label area of the web.

Can WF sensors detect transparent labels?

The WFS label sensors are designed for this; standard infrared forks may not. Tell us the label material and we recommend the right type.

What is the price of SICK WF Fork Sensors in Pakistan?

Prices depend on the exact part number, quantity and current exchange rate. Send us the codes you need and we reply with an itemised quotation. Quotes within 24 hours on working days.

My SICK part number is not in the table. Can you offer it?

The table shows the codes we are asked for most; we offer the other WF Fork Sensors variants too. Send the part number or a photo of the nameplate and we reply with a quotation.

Are these genuine SICK products?

Yes. We offer genuine SICK products only — no copies, and no substitutes without your approval.
