DataSensing – SRF Series

Fork Sensor SRF

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing SRF Series consists of high-precision photoelectric fork sensors designed for accurate detection of small objects, edges and materials in industrial automation and packaging applications. These sensors are available with red LED or laser emission, enabling high detection accuracy with resolutions reaching 0.3 mm for LED models and up to 0.03 mm for laser variants. The fork design ensures stable alignment between emitter and receiver, providing consistent and repeatable detection even in high-speed production environments. With multiple fork sizes including 30 mm, 50 mm, 80 mm and 120 mm, the SRF Series offers flexibility for different installation requirements and applications.

The SRF Series features a robust metal housing with glass lenses, ensuring durability in industrial conditions. Sensitivity can be easily adjusted via a rear trimmer, and users can select between light or dark operating modes depending on application needs. The sensors support both PNP and NPN outputs, and offer high switching performance, especially in laser models, making them suitable for precision tasks such as small component detection, edge monitoring and high-speed counting. With IP65 to IP67 protection and compact dimensions, the SRF Series is ideal for integration into automated machinery and production lines.
