Double fork sensors are used for rapid rough and precision positioning. A recess in the object to be referenced, which encompasses both light beams exactly, serves as a position mark. When approaching, one beam is released first to determine the approximate position. As soon as the second beam is released, an exact positioning, the precise position, is found. The sequence in which the beams are released provides additional direction information. The sensor outputs the information in a universal format via two digital switching outputs. The integration of the emitter and receiver into a single housing allows for fast installation without additional alignment or a reflector, even in confined spaces. One example of a typical application is precision positioning in intralogistics.
