GSX14E:
World’s first combined fork sensor

Detect any label type with a single sensor

The GSX14E fork sensor from our new product range of fork sensors is the world’s first sensor of its kind and combines the
two detection methods of ultrasonics and light in a single housing. It thus merges the advantages of the two methods and reliably,
quickly, and position-accurately detects all types of labels, regardless of their material and characteristics.

Advantages for you at a glance

— The reliable detection of labels made from a wide range of

materials and various characteristics ensures high machine
throughput and prevents downtime

— No reconfiguring of the sensor is required when switching

label rolls. Shorter setup times result in higher production
volumes

— The sensor is set up quickly by simply teaching in the

label-carrier combination with the teach button.
Only one mounting position is required for all objects

— Reliable operation even in case of contamination and

variations in terms of label / carrier materials through
automatic readjustment of the switching threshold

— IO-Link for easy integration of additional functions in the

machine control, e.g., simple format changeover when
changing rolls via recipe management, remote teaching of
the sensor, or locking of the buttons

The new all-round carefree GSX14E fork sensor

— Universal use for the detection of all types of label materials,

even inhomogeneous cavitated BOPP material

— Perfect for labeling machines that are operated with

changing label types

— A single sensor replaces multiple fork sensors of different

types

— Space-saving, less effort required, and reduced costs for

mounting, commissioning, and label changeovers

Confi guration and recipe management made easy
for fork sensors thanks to IO-Link

— Quick and easy remote teaching or locking of the buttons via

IO-Link interface

— Convenient format changeover to a different label type by

uploading the respective parameter set including teach value
to the forked sensor

— No setup time and no re-teaching of the forked sensor when

changing rolls

— Easy format change by selecting the appropriate parameter

set for the corresponding label format

— Convenient selection of the parameter set directly via the
