Chicago Dryer Photosensor, Retroreflective with Connector – 1607-210

The 1607-210 is a retroreflective photosensor designed for precise linen detection in Chicago Dryer King Edge feeders and folders. This sensor operates by emitting a light beam that bounces off a dedicated reflector back to the receiver; when a piece of linen interrupts this beam, the sensor triggers the machine's control system to initiate feeding clamps, measure linen length, or actuate fold blasts.

Equipped with a quick-disconnect connector, this unit is engineered for rapid replacement in high-volume laundry environments where minimizing downtime is critical. It is a verified component for systems utilizing King Edge Schematic 6270187, ensuring correct electrical integration with the feeder’s PLC inputs for reliable leading and trailing edge detection.

Maintenance Tip: regularly wipe the sensor lens and the opposing reflector with a soft, clean cloth to prevent lint buildup from causing false "jam" signals.
