Photoelectric Fork Switch

Shiva Electronics has developed a new fork switch or slot sensor with built-in circuit in two and three-wire versions which are operated directly on 220 V AC or 10 to 24 V DC supply. They work on the infrared principle and any object blocking the fork beam makes the contactor On or Off. The unit is available in ABS plastic housing with 20 mm gap and 45 mm depth, and 3 mm and 50 mm gap and 45 mm width are available through NPN or PNP transistor and through solid state contacts rated for 200 mA. Both the logic NO and NC are available in the unit which is suitable for continuous use.
