At SCHMACHTL, we offer fork sensors that combine transmitters and receivers in one device, increasing operational safety and simplifying installation. They are ideal for detecting small parts as well as recognizing labels or print marks - even on transparent films. Take the first step towards a smarter future now - together with us at SCHMACHTL!
Object Recognition
Our fork sensors with jaw widths between 5 and 220 mm are ideal for detecting small parts. Thanks to their high sensitivity and short response times, they can be easily and reliably integrated into fast automation processes. In addition, they have a light-dark switching function.
Technical Data:
- 14 different fork widths between 5 and 220 mm
- Housing available in metal or stainless steel
- Optional with IO-Link or potentiometer
- Light-dark switching
- High switching frequency with max. 10,000/5,000 Hz for reliable detection even in high-speed applications
- High precision for your application with a reproducibility of 0.01/0.02/0.03 mm and secure detection of smallest objects from Ø 0.05 mm
- Also available as stainless steel variants for use in the food/pharmaceutical industry.

Label Recognition
Fork sensors enable precise and fast detection of labels with various material combinations and surfaces - even at high web speeds. Our SCHMACHTL range includes various designs and operating principles from light to ultrasound.
Technical Data:
- Available in space-saving Slim-Line design - ideal for installation directly at the dispensing edge
- ALC function (Auto Level Control) for maximum functional reserve through automatic optimization of the switching threshold
- Easy adjustment via potentiometer, a lockable teach button, or a teach input

Combination fork sensor GSX
Highlight: Worldwide first combination fork sensor GSX14E.
The fork sensor GSX is the world's first sensor that combines the detection principles of ultrasound and light in a compact housing. This combination combines the advantages of both technologies and enables a particularly flexible use. The sensor quickly, reliably, and precisely detects a wide range of labels, regardless of their material or texture. Even labels made of inhomogeneous cavitated BOPP material are reliably detected thanks to the optical functional principle. Therefore, the GSX is particularly suitable for applications where a wide variety of label types need to be detected and where the use of multiple different fork sensors was previously required.
Your Benefits:
- Universal application for detecting all types of label materials.
- Space and cost savings due to reduced effort during installation and commissioning.
- Perfect for labeling machines running different types of labels.
- No adjustment work required when changing label rolls.
- Quick and easy sensor setup.
- Reliable operation even in case of contamination and material fluctuations.
- IO-Link for easy integration of additional functions into the machine control.
