Its FT-11-EPV-E3/F2X0,5/2M configuration provides a flexible optical sensing solution. The sensor detects targets through reflected light from the sensing area. Fibre optic construction supports installation in compact or restricted machine locations. It is suitable for product detection, position monitoring and automated production processes.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E20711 provides diffuse reflection sensing through a fibre optic configuration. It detects objects based on reflected optical energy received from the target. This sensing principle is useful for automated machinery where simple object presence detection is required. Fibre optics allow the sensing point to be positioned flexibly. The sensor is suitable for industrial production and automation applications.
The FT-11 configuration provides a dedicated fibre optic sensing arrangement. Its EPV-E3/F2X0,5/2M configuration supports compatible system integration. Fibre optics can help overcome restrictions caused by limited sensor mounting space. The sensing point can be positioned near the required detection area. It supports repetitive detection in automated processes.
The E20711 can detect products and components moving through automated machinery. It is suitable for conveyors, packaging systems and assembly lines. Diffuse reflection provides a practical method for monitoring object presence. The fibre optic arrangement supports sensing in compact machine areas. It can contribute to reliable industrial process monitoring.
