Fork
light barriers
with IO-Link
More flexible, faster, more precise,
simpler and even more rugged –
with the exact same size.
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.
No application gets left out
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.
Application-specific configuration instead of specific hardware
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.

Fork light barriers with IO-Link
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.
4 sensor modes through IO-Link for maximum flexibility
Standard
Switching frequency: 5000 Hz
Reproducibility: 0.02 / 0.01 mm¹
High Resolution

¹ Fork light barriers OGU / OGUL with fork openings up to 80 mm
OGU – Our medium format.
Standard in the finest gradations.
High resolution combined with amazing speed and precision –
with red and infrared LEDs – without lasers.
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.
- The outstanding reproducibility standard of 0.02 mm enables the extremely precise position recognition of objects.
- The OGU fork light barriers, available as red-light or infrared-light variants, achieve virtually the same level of performance as laser light barriers in terms of resolution and reproducibility.

Fork openings in increments of 10 mm:
30 . 40 . 50 . 60 . 70 . 80 . 90 . 100 mm
We have exactly the fork you need if you want to achieve maximum performance within a minimal installation space.
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.
Application examples
OGU medium format
OGU – Our small ones:
5, 10 and 20 mm.
Super-fast on the short distance.
So small and yet so tough –
Speed up your machines.
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.
Application examples
OGU small format
OGU – Our large sizes.
Is it alright if it’s a bit over?
Here you go! – Where others have given up long ago,
we will even add a bit: 120 . 170 . 220 . 250 mm
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.
