The simply outstanding all-rounder
The WFE is a rugged fork sensor that is simple and easy to mount. Thanks to its reliability and accurate detection, it is suitable for a large number of applications. The WFE can precisely detect objects up to a size of 0.5 mm with a high switching frequency of 5 kHz. The sensitivity adjustment, a push-pull output, and the ability to select between light and dark switching make it flexible and convenient to use. The WFE is enclosed in a rugged hybrid housing (IP67) made from ABS plastic with a carbon steel frame and performs reliably even in harsh environments. 5 different fork widths and several different types of connector are available. The WFE is therefore well and truly an all-in-one fork sensor solution.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND EASY TO USE
Fork sensor with countless functions and excellent performance
The WFE fork sensors are integrated into a robust ABS housing with a sturdy steel frame, providing a durable and solid design. Many exceptional product features such as a high switching frequency, detection of very small objects (MDO), a push-pull output, light-dark switching and many more are available to the user. At the same time, the WFE fork sensors are very easy to operate. Configuration or alignment for commissioning are not required.

Since the sender and receiver are in the same housing, no complex alignment is necessary. Detection tasks can therefore be prepared and completed quickly and easily.

Operation as simple as with plug & play applications

DIFFERENT VARIANTS AVAILABLE
Different fork widths for all possible installation types
Available fork widths range from 30 mm up to 180 mm to meet various installation requirements. This ensures full flexibility and freedom in machine design as well as easy installation. A wide variety of applications are possible thanks to the sensitivity adjustment and light/dark switching.
