The IFM E20504 is a compact round reflector designed for reliable operation of compatible retro-reflective sensors. It is suitable for sensors using red light and infrared light. The reflector can be installed by sticking it directly to a suitable surface. Its plastic construction provides a lightweight optical accessory for industrial automation applications. The TS-17 design is suitable for compact sensor installations where space and simple mounting are important.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20504 reflector provides the reflective target required by compatible retro-reflective photoelectric sensors. Its round design makes it suitable for compact machine and equipment installations. The reflector is intended for use with red-light and infrared-light sensors. Adhesive mounting allows installation without requiring drilled mounting holes in suitable applications. It provides a straightforward solution for optical sensor alignment and object detection systems.
The reflector returns emitted light from a compatible retro-reflective sensor toward the sensor receiver. When an object interrupts the optical path, the sensor can identify the change in reflected signal. The 17 mm reflector surface provides a compact optical target. Correct alignment between the sensor and reflector is important for reliable operation. The accessory is suitable for compact retro-reflective sensing arrangements.
The E20504 uses a round plastic reflector with a reflector surface diameter of approximately 17 mm. Its overall dimensions are approximately Ø21 mm with a length of 5.5 mm. The reflector weighs approximately 2.7 g, making it easy to handle and install. Adhesive mounting provides a simple installation method on suitable clean surfaces.
The compact reflector is useful where machine space is limited and a large reflector is unnecessary. Its plastic construction provides a lightweight accessory for industrial photoelectric sensing. The specified ambient temperature range is -10 to 60 °C. It can support object detection, conveyor monitoring and packaging automation when paired with a compatible sensor.
