The IFM E20565 is a robust fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor designed for short-range object detection in industrial environments. The FT-00-MPV-M6 version features a straight M6 sensing head and PMMA fibre material. It supports OKF, OOF and OUF fibre-optic amplifier types with ranges up to 220 mm depending on the amplifier. Its -20 to 80 °C operating range and 20 mm minimum bending radius support flexible industrial installation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20565 is designed for dependable diffuse reflection detection in challenging industrial applications. It is particularly suitable for installations where the sensing point is difficult to access. The short-range design makes it useful for detecting nearby components and machine parts. Its PMMA fibre construction provides suitable optical transmission for compatible amplifiers. The robust construction supports reliable use in demanding industrial environments.
The sensor uses diffuse reflection technology and a straight M6 sensing head. Its PMMA fibre material is protected by a metal-silicone sheath. The stainless-steel fibre head provides mechanical durability at the sensing point. The 600 mm total length offers flexibility when routing the fibre to the amplifier. A 20 mm minimum bending radius supports installation through compact machine layouts.
The E20565 provides 20 mm ranges with OKF and OUF amplifiers and 220 mm with OOF. It operates from -20 to 80 °C. The M6 sensing head supports straightforward mechanical mounting. Supplied nuts, lock washers and a knurled nut assist with secure installation. Its compact and robust fibre optic design provides dependable sensing for industrial automation systems.
