Fork and angle sensors comprise an emitter and receiver optimally aligned to one another and installed in a torsionally rigid metal housing.  This enables highly accurate scanning and positioning of objects, as is required in automatic feeders, vibration conveyors and other applications, while high repeatability is ensured by precise collimator optics. 

 

Equipped with a laser light source, fork sensors can even position the very smallest of parts in the micron range.  Time-consuming alignment and adjustment usually required for through beam sensors in unnecessary.  Compared to through beam sensors, the electric wiring features just one cable connection.

 

The MGP is up to 24% lighter and offers space savings thanks to shorter guide rods, without impacting on the variety of functions, robustness and quality performance of the original series. Additionally, round auto switches can now be fitted directly onto the MGP-Z cylinder, removing the need for mounting brackets and reducing labor costs.

 

Standard feature options:

• Three types of bearings
• Four mount designs including front flange option
• Piping from two directions
• Cooper and fluorine free versions
