For decades, di-soric has been developing fork light barriers that set new standards.
We are now offering the fork light barrier 4.0 with an innovative dual operation concept, either over IO-Link with the configuration of all sensor functions including 4 selectable sensor modes or through easy manual switching point adjustment with a potentiometer.
Due to the variety of sizes and formats, the high resolution and fast reaction time, our fork light barriers make optimal, process-reliable solutions possible - always tailored to the application and the installation space available.
Instead of keeping various forks on hand for different applications, you can save the application-specific configuration, load it into the fork as needed or select the necessary operation mode and get started right away. Device swapping works just as easily.
Via 2 potentiometers and IO-Link – Selection of the sensor mode or teach-in over IO-Link
Adjustment of the switching point and NO/NC changeover using a potentiometer
with previous di-soric OGU models in terms of design and M8 connection
Sensor identification, configuration and diagnosis, remote maintenance option, quick exchange of sensor due to parameter storage in IO-Link master
Powder-coated metal housing* with full encapsulation and IP67, compatible with all OGU and standard mounting options
* OGU 005, 061, 071, 091 in anodised aluminum housing
Field devices with an IO-Link interface feature on-board digital intelligence. This allows them to swap position, process, status and device information easily in a digital format. The sensor can be configured directly using the IO-Link master. Settings can be applied to the sensor directly via drag and drop by means of a control panel.
Even device replacement can be carried out quickly and easily with IO-Link and data storage in the master using the Smart Sensor Profile, without any expert knowledge.

¹ Fork light barriers OGU / OGUL with fork openings up to 80 mm
Fork light barriers are the preferred choice wherever small objects or object positions must be detected quickly, precisely and independently of their surface. High switching frequency and maximum resolution means that our medium formats are capable of reliably detecting rapid motion sequences, even of very small parts with diameters starting from 0.2 mm.
In contemporary mechanical engineering, design is playing an ever greater role – our slim OGU fork light barriers in the medium format are available in increments of 10 mm and are suitable for the most diverse machine designs. Thus, you can always find the optimally matching fork light barrier for your planned design.
The OGU 005 and 010 are not only our smallest fork light barriers but also our fastest: With a switching frequency of up to 14,000 Hz, they are among the fastest forked light barriers worldwide.
Install our fork light barriers, even without the potentiometer being accessible, and simply configure using IO-Link – a greater amount of space cannot be conserved.
The perfect alignment of transmitter and receiver in our large fork light barriers is assured – as is the visible red light, which further eases the setup of your application.
However, the fact that even at such fork openings, small parts in the millimeter range are precisely identified with a reproducibility down to 0.03 mm, makes them excellent.
The OGU Stainless Steel sensors are especially well-suited to applications in packaging technology, the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics industry and product feeding. Frequent batch changes and modifications to critical production parameters can be implemented easily and quickly using the IO-Link configuration.
Available fork openings:
30, 50, 80, and 120 mm.
Available with fork openings of 20, 30, 50 or 80 mm, the OGUP series ensures precise object detection regardless of the surface, even in dirty and oily production environments.
With reproducibility of 0.03 mm, the fork light barriers offer a high degree of precision paired with maximum function reserve.
The OGUL series available with fork openings of 30, 50, 80 and 120 mm is the best solution when the goal is process-reliable and fast detection of very small objects down to a size of just 0.03 mm.
With OGUL, the position and alignment of thin wires, drill bits or cannulae can effortlessly be defined down to a (reproducible) accuracy of 0.01 mm.
Components must be checked for their position and completeness before they are fed to assembly machines.
For this purpose, di-soric has a wide selection of product solutions that increase productivity, minimize machine downtimes and even prevent machine damage.
