DataSensing – FC6 Series

Fork/Label Sensor Photoelectric With Regulation

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing FC6 Series consists of high-precision photoelectric fork sensors designed for accurate detection of small objects, labels and edges in industrial automation and packaging applications. Using either infrared LED or laser emission, these sensors provide reliable detection performance even for very fine objects, with minimum detectable sizes down to 0.2 mm for infrared models and 0.05 mm for laser variants. The fork design ensures stable alignment between emitter and receiver, making the FC6 Series ideal for high-accuracy positioning tasks in fast-moving production lines such as labeling, web detection and component counting.

The series offers a wide range of fork widths and depths to suit different application requirements, along with robust aluminum housing and IP65 protection for durability in industrial environments. Configuration is simple through Teach-in or manual push button adjustment, with selectable light or dark switching modes. With a high switching frequency up to 10 kHz and fast response time, the FC6 Series is well suited for high-speed detection tasks while maintaining stable and repeatable performance across varying conditions.
