Leuze GSX14E two-in-one fork sensor

The GSX 14E – sensor from Leuze is a two-in-one fork sensor suitable for packaging and labelling machine manufacturers.

The GSX fork sensor combines two detection methods — ultrasonics and optical detection — in a single housing, bringing together the advantages of both principles.

The versatile fork sensor provides users with the flexibility to work with all types of labelling materials. A wide range of labels can be detected precisely and at a fast speed, regardless of the type of material and surface characteristics. This increases the machine throughput and avoids downtime.

Even labels made of inhomogeneous pockets of BOPP material can be detected through the optical operating principle. The forked sensor is well suited 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. The user can now save not only the space of an additional fork sensor but also extra time and costs of installation.

The forked 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.
