OGU-171-G3-T3 di-soric 170 mm standard U-shaped visible red light fork barrier, Push-pull 100 mA NO/NC, IO-Link

The di-soric OGU-171-G3-T3 is a compact, 170 mm U-shaped fork-style visible red light barrier engineered for precise, non-contact object detection in industrial automation environments. Its durable, space-saving housing allows seamless integration into packaging lines, assembly stations, and automated machinery where accuracy and reliability are essential.

This 170 mm opening provides added clearance for packaging, assembly, labeling, and conveyor applications where accurate fixed-gap detection is needed across a wider product path. Unlike extended-leg variants, this version keeps a standard fork-body format while using a visible red light source that can help during setup, positioning, and alignment in applications where buyers want a large sensing opening without moving to a longer fork-leg design.
