Delock Forked Light Barrier 5 mm L-Type with 4 Open Cable Ends PNP L/D Switchable 2 m

Unlike conventional slot sensors that lock you into a single output logic, this Delock forked light barrier gives you the freedom to switch between Light-ON and Dark-ON modes on the fly. With a compact 5 mm gap and PNP output, it's built for precise object detection in tight automation setups where every millimetre counts.

Highlights

• 5 mm slot width for detecting small parts, labels, or edge positions
• PNP output with Light-ON / Dark-ON selectable via wiring
• 4 open cable ends (2 m) for flexible integration into your control system
• Fast 0.5 ms response time and 1 kHz switching frequency for high-speed lines
• Rugged IP67 housing withstands dust and water jets

In daily use

Mount the sensor using its sturdy PBT body and align the fork over your conveyor, feeder, or assembly station. The infrared LED (950 nm) is invisible to the human eye but highly reliable for detecting objects as small as 0.5 mm. Whether you need to count pills, monitor label presence, or verify part ejection, the selectable output logic lets you adapt to your PLC's input requirements without rewiring. The 2 m cable with open ends gives you the freedom to terminate with your preferred connector.
