Leuze GSX14E two-in-one fork sensor

The GSX14E fork sensor from Leuze combines two detection methods — ultrasonic and optical — in a single housing, bringing together the advantages of both principles. The fork sensor is therefore versatile and offers users the flexibility to work with all types of labelling materials. The company says a wide range of labels can be detected precisely and at a fast speed, regardless of the type of material and surface characteristics.

Even labels made of inhomogeneous pockets of BOPP material can be detected through the optical operating principle. The forked sensor is especially suitable for applications in which various types of labels need to be detected on the same line. Until now this often required several different forked sensors, which also meant extra space, time and cost for installation. The GSX14E fork sensor can be quickly and easily set up via the teach button in order to teach the label/carrier combination. Only one universal mounting position is required for all types of labels.
