Hitting the mark without the need for extensive preparation is the very denition
of precision. What makes fork sensors from SICK really stand out, however, is
more than just their accuracy – it’s also their outstanding equipment congura-
tion. The sender and receiver are integrated into a single housing, saving time
spent on alignment.
Sensors that operate using a through-beam design always require a certain amount of adjustment and
alignment. That is, unless the sender and receiver are both integrated into a rugged housing made of
plastic or aluminum – as is the case with SICK fork sensors. With their precise, focused beam of light, the
infrared, red light, laser, and ultrasonic variants that are available offer a key advantage when it comes to
reliable detection of labels, double sheets, and various types of objects. These sensors are even able to
detect very slight differences in light attenuation. A wide range of fork sizes, straightforward mounting, and
exceptionally high ambient light immunity are additional advantages that the fork sensors offer.

TEACH-IN PROCEDURES
TWO OPERATING CONCEPTS FOR INCREASED FLEXIBILITY
Various procedures are available for carrying out teach-in conguration of fork sensors. In addition to stat-
ic 2-point teach-in, a dynamic teach-in procedure is available for selection. This exibility is also reected
in the operating concept used when performing the teach-in procedure.
Operating concept with plus/minus buttons
Static and dynamic teach-in procedure available
Option of individual switching threshold readjustment using
plus/minus buttons
Option of changing between light/dark switching

Standardized design
Intuitive operating concept
Static and dynamic teach-in procedure available
Option of single-stage ne adjustment using teach-in button
Option of changing between light/dark switching
Pushbutton lock can be activated and deactivated
In addition to the proven variants that enable settings to be
made using plus/minus buttons, the teach-in button variants
provide the option of performing the teach-in procedure using
just one button. This means that SICK offers its customers
the advantage of an intuitive sensor that is equipped with one
and the same operating concept across all product variants.
Thanks to an IO-Link interface installed as standard and
optional smart automation functions, SICK fork sensors are
equipped for the long term, ready to face the requirements of
the future – and combine standard sensors with pioneering
sensor intelligence in order to do so.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
TWO FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLES ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULT
Switching output Q = dark switching
The switching output is active when the path of the beam
is interrupted; that is, an object is located in the path of
the beam.
Switching output Q = light switching
The switching output is active when there is no object in
the path of the beam.
Switching function
Active
Switching output Q Not active
Switching output Q
Active
Not active
In label recognition, this means:
The switching output is active when the label is present.
In label recognition, this means:
The switching output is active when the label is not
present.
Ultrasonic fork sensors
In this case, it is the material properties (such as thickness
and adhesion) that are evaluated and reliably detected, rather
than the transparency. Thicker materials absorb the sen-
sors ultrasonic properties more strongly than thin materials.
Transparent materials are detected regardless of their printed
design or color.
Fields of application
Label detection
Double sheet detection
Adhesive surface detection
Optical fork sensors
Optical fork sensors detect objects via the interruption of the
light beam. Even slight differences in light attenuation are
detected reliably in this way.
Fields of application
Label detection
Counting and positioning objects
Process control
There are two different principles of operation used in SICK fork sensors.

UFN – The clear choice for detecting transparent labels
Transparent, shiny, and metallic labels; white, opaque, and colored substrate; thin foils, foil on foil, paper on paper – modern
labeling machines are faced with a variety of materials and surface properties. SICK fork sensors always offer the right solution.
Optical fork sensors are able to detect opaque labels, for example, reliably. Ultrasonic fork sensors detect even transparent mate-
rials reliably, regardless of their printing design.

OBJECT DETECTION
In order to control various processes logistically, it is necessary to reliably detect certain objects on the conveyor belts. As soon
as an object passes the fork sensor, it is detected. Thanks to a whole host of different transmission sources and sizes, the right
fork sensor can always be found to suit every requirement. The design accommodates the sender and receiver in a single hous-
ing. Commissioning is as easy as the mounting process is quick, since no complex, time-consuming alignment is needed.

SICK sensors with IO-Link functions that can be integrated into an automation system offer a whole host
of useful functions, from conguration and operation all the way through to monitoring.
Condition monitoring/diagnostics
Implementing diagnostic and self-test options enables
features such as contamination evaluation for sensors.
Thanks to the monitoring capabilities of the sensors, pre-
ventive maintenance can be carried out using a precise
maintenance plan. This ability to predict machine status
even extends across area boundaries. The advantages of
this are reduced maintenance and repair times, minimum
risk of failure, as well as accurate fault localization and
diagnostics.
The automation system provides the IO-Link sensor with
optimum application-specic parameters for the manu-
facturing process or the product being manufactured,
such as the sensing distance, hysteresis, or threshold.
The advantages of this are reduced machine downtimes
and changeover times when switching products, more ma-
chine exibility, and the prevention of incorrect settings.
Flexible sensor adjustment
Easy device replacement
Sensors with IO-Link can be replaced quickly and easily
as they are able to adopt the set function parameters
without any alterations. The parameters are stored in the
IO-Link master or in the control system. The advantages
of this are minimal downtimes, guaranteed machine avail-
ability, as well as recorded and documented replacement
processes.
IO-Link enables electronic documentation to be created
for all sensors in the as-delivered state of the machine
or plant, both quickly and automatically. The advantages
of this are increased transparency in the electronic
documentation for installed sensors, cables, and male
connectors. This prevents time-consuming troubleshoot-
ing resulting from different documentation versions.
Additionally, the machine or plant’s as-delivered state can
be documented easily and accurately in this way.
E-parts list/E-inventory
Sensor data such as the device ID, serial number, teach-in
values, hysteresis, and switching behavior can be displayed
and modied using visualization software via the SiLink Box
on the PC. All parameters can be optimized and transferred to
multiple sensors.
The advantages of this are:
Comprehensive diagnostics options
Availability values can be checked and parameters can be
optimized
Simplied selection of function range and performance
capability
Quick and safe sensor pre-conguration
Easy identication of optimized application parameters
Simple commissioning
Sensor visualization

Remote debouncing
For some plants and machines, main-
taining productivity levels requires
sensors to know which detection signals
are disturbances, and to suppress those
disturbances using additional detection
information. This prevents the control
system from being burdened with infor-
mation that will disrupt the process. The
-A70 and -A71 fork sensor variants are
equipped with this function.
You will nd detailed information on Smart Sensor Solutions powered by IO-Link in
the special information with the same name (part number 8011727).
SMART SENSOR SOLUTIONS – ADVANCED FUNCTIONS WITH IO-LINK
By using state-of-the-art sensor technology and integrating it into an automation network, it is possible to
take advantage of innovative functions that have a direct impact on a plant or machines productivity.
High-speed counters
Some plants and machines have to
know how fast conveying equipment
is moving in order to carry out control
tasks, or they need to ensure that the
speed of a roller stays within dened
limits. Using the counting function in the
-A71 fork sensor variants, it is possible
to implement these and other automa-
tion tasks with maximum efciency.
Time measurement
In some plants and machines, it is
necessary to check that an object being
transported to another destination is the
right shape or in the right position on
the conveying equipment. The -A70 fork
sensor variant measures the time win-
dow directly and with high precision, and
provides the measurement result in the
format required by the control system
so that this information can undergo
further processing.

UFnext FORK SENSORS
Product description
The UF ultrasonic sensors reliably
detects labels and materials, regard-
less of printed design, transparency or
surface characteristics. Unlike optical
sensors, the UF3 relies on damping – a
process where the thickness of a mate-
rial determines the degree to which the
sensor absorbs sound waves. A high
level of positioning accuracy and stable
response times make the fork sensor
suitable for nearly any environment. Due
to its small, compact metal housing,
the UF can be used in harsh conditions
and where space is limited. As a result,
the UF3 can distinguish between labels
located just 2 mm apart from one an-
other on an adhesive tape. Applications
include detecting transparent labels on
transparent substrates, detecting labels
with different printed designs or dif-
ferentiating between single- and two-ply
materials.

Setting the switching threshold
Teach-in dynamic via plus/minus buttons
Press “–” button, teach-in
process is finished.
2. Move multiple labels
through the fork sensor
Notes
Teach-in (static): Setting the switching threshold without movements of label, cf. operating instruction.
Press both the “+” and “–”
buttons together, hold > 1 s and
than release the teach-in buttons.
The red LED flashes.
1. Position label or substrate
in the active area of the
fork sensor
Once teach-in process is complete, the switching threshold can be adjusted at any time using
the “+” or “–” button. To make minor adjustments, press the “+” or “–” button once.
To configure settings quickly, keep the “+” or “–” button pressed for longer.
Switching threshold adaptation:
Only, the first teach-in procedure after switching on is permanently stored. Teach-in can be repeated
cyclically. Switching output also during teach-in active.
Press both the “+” and “–” buttons together (3 seconds) to lock the device and prevent
unintentional actuation.
Press both the “+” and “–” buttons together (6 seconds) to define the switching function
(light/dark switching). Standard setting: Q = light switching.

Fine adjustment
In order to obtain a higher operating reserve, a fine adjustment can be carried out after successful teach-in.
For this purpose, the switching threshold is set close to the taught-in object. The teach-in button must
be pressed and released within 10 s of successful teach-in. Successful setting is signaled by flashing twice at 1 Hz
.
+
Release the teach-in button for < 20 s. If teach-in is
successful, the function indicator (yellow LED) directly
indicates the output state of the sensor. The switching t
hreshold is now optimally set between carrier and label.
The best possible operational safety is provided.
2. End teach-in:
Press the teach-in button for 3 - 20 s. With the
pushbutton pressed down, move several label
with carrier material (label) through the sensor.
The yellow LED flashes at 3 Hz during the
teach-in procedure. Recommendation: Move
at least 3 label + carrier through the sensor.
1. Start teach-in: Position
carrier or label between
the fork
+
Pushbutton lock
The device can be locked against unintended operation by pressing the teach-in button for > 30 s.
The device can be unlocked by pressing the teach-in button again for > 30 s.
You can change between light switching and dark switching by pressing the teach-in button for 20 - 30 s.

WFS FORK SENSORS
Product description
The slim, forked shape of the WFS has
been specially developed for the require-
ments of the labeling process. The
design allows the sensor to be mounted
directly on the edge of a label dispenser.
Difculty in detecting the label gap is
nally eliminated – the sensor’s switch-
ing threshold can be taught-in while the
label strip is running. This sophisticated
operating concept means the sensor
can be adjusted to different labels
quickly, easily, and reliably. The fast
response time guarantees exceptional
repeat accuracy.
