The IFM E20749 fibre optic diffuse reflection sensor provides flexible optical detection for compact automation equipment. Its fibre optic construction allows the sensing point to be installed in restricted machine locations. The model uses a compact mounting arrangement suitable for industrial applications. It can detect objects based on reflected optical energy. The accessory is suitable for packaging, assembly and automated inspection systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
E20749 is designed for diffuse reflection sensing through a fibre optic arrangement. The fibre allows optical detection to be performed away from the main sensor electronics. This is useful when machine geometry limits conventional sensor installation. The compact arrangement supports integration into automated equipment. It can provide practical optical detection for industrial processes.
The product uses a fibre optic sensing configuration identified by its model designation. The M6 configuration provides a mechanical mounting interface. The fibre arrangement is suitable for positioning the sensing point according to the application. Correct fibre routing is important for reliable operation. The accessory should be paired with a compatible IFM sensing system.
The fibre optic format supports flexible machine integration. It is useful for detecting small or moving objects in restricted areas. The arrangement can help reduce installation space around the sensing point. It supports repeatable optical detection when properly aligned. The accessory is suitable for continuous industrial automation applications.
E20749 can be applied in assembly, packaging and material-handling machinery. It is suitable for presence and position detection. The fibre should be protected against excessive bending and mechanical stress. The sensing point should be aligned with the required object path. Installation should follow the compatible IFM amplifier and fibre specifications.
