Self-adhesive labels are applied to bottles of widely varying shape. This process must be synchronized so that the labels are applied to the bottles in the correct position and at the correct point in time. SICK’s WFS fork sensor detects the labels on the carrier material.

The slim, forked shape of the WFS fork sensor has been specially developed for the requirements of the labeling process. The design allows the sensor to be mounted directly on the edge of the dispenser. Difficulty in detecting the label gap is finally eliminated – the sensor’s switching threshold can be taught-in while the label strip is running. The improved operating concept means the sensor can be adjusted to different labels quickly, easily and reliably. The fast response time guarantees exceptional repeat accuracy.

Slim design allows flexible mounting close to the dispenser of the label which ensures higher accuracy in the process.
