The IFM E20571 is a fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor designed for short-range detection in harsh industrial environments. Its FT-00-MPV-M6/1,2M configuration provides a 1200 mm total fibre length and an M6 sensing head. PMMA fibre material, stainless-steel construction and a metal-silicone sheath provide durability and flexible routing. The sensor operates from -20 to 80 °C and has a minimum bending radius of 20 mm.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20571 provides reliable diffuse reflection sensing for industrial automation systems. Its 1200 mm fibre length allows the sensing head to be positioned away from the amplifier. The sensor is intended for short-range object detection and difficult-access installations. Its robust construction is designed for harsh industrial conditions. The sensing head can be installed conveniently using its M6 threaded design.
The sensor operates using the diffuse reflection principle and is compatible with OKF and OUF fibre-optic amplifiers. Its straight sensing head uses an M6 thread for mechanical mounting. PMMA fibre material provides optical transmission while stainless steel protects the sensing head. The metal-silicone sheath provides flexible and durable fibre routing. The 20 mm minimum bending radius makes it suitable for compact machine layouts.
The E20571 provides a 15 mm fibre range with both OKF and OUF amplifier types. It operates reliably from -20 to 80 °C. Its 1200 mm total length provides additional routing flexibility compared with shorter fibre versions. The sensor weighs approximately 84.5 g. Supplied mounting hardware provides a convenient installation package for industrial use.
