It is suitable for detecting objects and changes within automated processes. The compact design makes it useful for space-limited industrial machinery.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
E20748 is a fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor accessory designed for optical detection. The fibre arrangement allows the sensing point to be positioned independently from the main sensor electronics. This provides flexibility when installation space is restricted. It is suitable for machine automation and object detection applications. The product can support reliable optical sensing when correctly installed.
The diffuse reflection arrangement detects objects through reflected optical energy. Fibre optics allow the sensing point to reach compact or difficult machine locations. The model designation identifies an M4 mounting configuration and a 2 m arrangement. Correct fibre routing and positioning are important for reliable detection. The accessory is intended for integration with compatible IFM fibre optic systems.
The fibre optic concept provides installation flexibility in confined areas. It can support detection near moving mechanisms and small machine openings. The compact sensing arrangement helps simplify machine design. It is useful for applications requiring localized optical detection. Proper alignment and fibre installation help maintain consistent performance.
E20748 can be used in packaging, assembly and inspection machinery. It is suitable for object presence, position and process monitoring. Fibre routing should avoid sharp bends and mechanical damage. The sensing head should be positioned according to the required detection area. The compatible sensor amplifier and optical configuration should be confirmed before installation.
