The IFM E20648 is a fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor designed for reliable optical object detection. Its FT-11-EPA-M6/F2X1G160X0,265/2M configuration provides a compact sensing arrangement for automated machinery. It detects objects by receiving reflected light from the sensing target. Fibre optic construction provides installation flexibility in confined machine areas. The sensor is suitable for production, packaging, assembly and material handling applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20648 provides diffuse reflection sensing using a fibre optic arrangement. The sensor detects targets through changes in reflected optical energy. This approach is useful where direct sensing of an object is required without a separate reflector arrangement. The fibre optic design supports flexible placement in industrial machinery. It can provide dependable detection for repetitive automation tasks.
The FT-11 configuration is designed for compatible industrial fibre optic applications. The M6/F2X1G160X0,265 configuration provides a defined sensing arrangement. Fibre optics allow the detection point to be positioned in areas with restricted access. The 2 m configuration assists installation and cable routing. Its design supports practical integration into machine automation systems.
The sensor can support detection of products and components during automated production. It is useful for presence monitoring, product passage and machine positioning tasks. Its fibre optic design can help overcome space limitations around conventional sensor installation. Diffuse reflection technology provides practical target detection. The E20648 is suitable for industrial environments where repeatable optical sensing is required.
