The GLSBS fork sensors build on the success we have achieved with the GLSZS for material placement applications.
Features Include: Special optical array generates a light-band with high uniformity – Very good resolution and excellent linearity -Space saving, robust design in a full metal housing - Ideally applicable as optical web edge guidance sensor with high precision - For detection and counting of fast moving objects - High vacuum version for process industry available.
- Small footprint – adequate geometry:
- - two different band sizes.
- - two different fork widths.
- - customized housing dimensions.
- Separate amplifier provides an output signal analogue to the coverage of the light-band. Depending on selected electronics with current output 4-20mA or voltage output 0-10V.
- Very good linearity throughout the complete fork width guarantees exact edge detection even on sagging webs.
- With a STM MICROmote® dynamic amplifier the sensor may be used as a space saving alternative to optical frame sensors for fast counting or object detection applications.

This is the latest innovation added to our expanding GLS family of fork sensors and exemplifies the versatility STM is known for.
The GLS03BS fork sensor is designed for high speed quality control applications. When used with our V10 analog amplifiers the homogeneous light band creates an incredibly accurate thickness detection sensor with a resolution down to 0.1 mm and is ideal for detecting knots and other imperfections during the manufacturing process.
Fast moving threads or wires generate highly dynamic signal fluctuations in a conventional through beam sensor only from lateral oscillations which can hardly be differentiated from occurences like knots, material defects or splicings. Different with GLS03BS. The special optics provide for a very consistent lighting of the 4mm large sensing window. Despite the natural vibrations of the object the sensor produces a very even basic signal. Deviations in diameter generate distinct signal peaks on the amplifier output which can clearly be interpreted in shape and size.
· For the inline quality control on fast moving threads, wires or filaments
· To detect knots, material defects, splicings
· Object resolution better 100μm
· Glass protected optics
· Compact and robust design
· Can be combined with STM analog amplifier V10C or the new dynamic amplifier V10H
