The IFM E20199 FT-00-R3 is a fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor designed for reliable object detection using reflected light. Its compact fibre optic arrangement allows sensing in areas where conventional sensor installation may be difficult. The diffuse reflection principle detects suitable objects without requiring a conventional through-beam arrangement. It is suitable for assembly machines, conveyors, packaging equipment and automated production systems. The sensor provides flexible optical detection for industrial automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20199 FT-00-R3 is designed for diffuse reflection object detection using fibre optic technology. The sensing principle detects objects by receiving optical energy reflected from the target. Its fibre optic construction allows the sensing point to be positioned in compact machine areas. This provides flexibility for machine builders and automation installers. The sensor is suitable for a variety of industrial detection applications.
The sensor operates by detecting light reflected from the surface of an object. Unlike a conventional through-beam arrangement, the target itself provides the reflecting surface. Fibre optics allow the sensing point to be installed close to the object. This can simplify optical detection in compact machinery. The arrangement supports presence, position and passage detection depending on the application.
The E20199 is suitable for repetitive object detection in industrial environments. Its fibre optic arrangement allows flexible installation around tooling and machine components. The diffuse reflection principle can be useful where a separate receiver arrangement is not practical. It supports automated monitoring of components and products. The sensor can contribute to reliable production and machine-control processes.
The sensor can detect components and products moving through automated machinery. It is suitable for conveyors, packaging machines and assembly equipment. The sensing point can be positioned close to the target for flexible installation. It can support presence checking, position monitoring and product detection. The product is suitable for industrial automation and material handling systems.
