Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20004 is an IFM reflector for retro-reflective sensor applications. It provides the reflective surface required by compatible photoelectric sensing systems. Correct reflector selection and alignment help establish reliable optical communication between sensor and reflector. The TS-40 designation identifies the specific reflector model. IFM lists the product in its reflector accessory range.
The reflector acts as the optical reference point for a compatible retro-reflective sensor. It is positioned opposite the sensor so emitted light can be returned to the sensing unit. Secure mechanical mounting helps maintain the required optical alignment. Its compact accessory format supports integration into industrial machines. Correct positioning is important for consistent sensor operation.
The E20004 can support dependable object detection when used with compatible sensor equipment. Stable reflector alignment helps maintain the optical path during continuous machine operation. It can be used for presence, absence and interruption detection. The reflector is suitable for automated production and material-handling processes. Proper installation contributes to repeatable sensing performance.
The reflector provides a dedicated optical target for compatible photoelectric sensors. It can simplify the installation of retro-reflective detection points. Compact construction supports efficient use of machine space. The component can also be used as a replacement for a compatible reflector. It is a practical accessory for machine builders and maintenance teams.
Install the reflector in the recommended position relative to the compatible sensor. Ensure the reflective surface remains correctly aligned throughout machine operation. Secure the mounting arrangement against vibration and movement. Keep the optical surface clean and unobstructed. Applications include conveyors, packaging, material handling, counting and automated inspection.
