 Optical fork photoelectric sensor with 3mm
fork width and 60mm fork depth for exact
detection of labels on base material
 High switching frequency and short
response time guarantee very good
repeatability
 Slimline-design (reduced fork height) for
installation in a groove directly at the
dispensing edge
 ALC function (Auto Level Control):
highest function reserve through
autonomous online optimization of the
switching threshold ((I)GS63B/….3…)
 Storage of up to 30 teach values in the
sensor
 Warning output for indicating teach or
function errors (IGS63B…)
 Easy adjustment via lockable teach button
or teach input
3mm
