Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20639 provides diffuse reflection sensing through a fibre optic arrangement. The sensor detects an object by evaluating light reflected from its surface. This provides a practical sensing method for applications where a separate reflector or receiver is not required. The fibre optic design allows flexible placement in restricted machine areas. It is suitable for industrial object detection and process monitoring.
The FT-11 configuration is designed for compatible fibre optic sensing applications. Its M4/F2X0,5 arrangement provides a compact installation format. Fibre optics can help position the sensing point close to the target while keeping sensing electronics away from restricted areas. The 2 m configuration provides useful installation flexibility. The system supports repeatable detection in automated equipment.
The sensor can be used for detecting products, components and materials during automated operations. It supports presence monitoring on conveyors and production machinery. Fibre optic installation can simplify sensing around compact machine structures. Diffuse reflection sensing is suitable for a wide range of object detection tasks. It contributes to reliable optical monitoring within automated processes.
