The IFM E20078 fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor is intended for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation. The FT-00-M-E3 configuration provides a compact optical sensing solution for machinery and production systems. Its fibre optic arrangement supports flexible installation where direct mounting of conventional sensors may be difficult or where sensing must be performed in restricted spaces.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IFM E20078 is designed to perform diffuse reflection sensing through a fibre optic arrangement. It provides an adaptable method for detecting objects and components in automated systems. The compact FT-00-M-E3 configuration can be integrated into applications requiring flexible optical sensing and convenient positioning of the sensing point.
The sensor detects targets by receiving reflected optical energy from the object being monitored. Fibre optics provide flexibility in positioning the sensing point, helping installation in compact or restricted machine areas. The diffuse reflection principle allows direct object detection without the need for a separate reflector.
