The IFM E20269 FT-00-R3 is a compact fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor designed for object detection in industrial automation applications. Its angled sensing head supports installation where available space is limited. The sensor operates using diffuse reflection and can be used with a compatible fibre optic amplifier. Its compact design allows the sensing point to be positioned close to machine components and targets. It is suitable for assembly equipment, conveyors, packaging systems and automated production machinery.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20269 FT-00-R3 provides a compact optical sensing solution for industrial applications. It uses a diffuse reflection principle to detect objects through reflected light. The angled sensing head is suitable for applications requiring flexible positioning around machinery. The product can be used with compatible fibre optic amplifier systems. Its compact construction makes it suitable for space-constrained automation installations.
The sensor detects objects based on reflected optical energy from the target. This allows object detection without installing a separate receiver at the sensing point. The angled design provides flexibility when the target is located close to machine structures. The fibre optic arrangement helps bring the sensing point into compact areas. This makes it useful for repetitive object detection and machine monitoring.
The E20269 has a documented fibre-optic range of 25 mm when used with the specified OKF amplifier. Its ambient operating temperature is -20 to 80 °C. The sensor has an angled sensing head and a compact design suitable for industrial installations. The documented materials include glass fibre, plastic and stainless-steel components. These characteristics support practical use in industrial automation systems.
The sensor is suitable for presence and absence detection of components on automated equipment. It can be used for assembly machines, conveyor systems and packaging equipment. Its compact sensing head is useful where conventional sensor mounting is difficult. The sensor can also support product-position monitoring and automated counting. It provides flexible fibre optic detection for industrial machinery.
