The E20850 reflector is designed for compatible retro-reflective sensor applications. It provides a passive optical target that returns emitted light toward the sensor. The TS40-02 format is suitable for compact industrial detection arrangements. It is intended for automation and object detection systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The reflector works with a compatible retro-reflective sensor to establish an optical detection path. The sensor receives reflected light until an object interrupts the beam. This creates a practical method for object presence detection. Correct alignment is essential.
The reflector format supports installation where available space is limited. It can be mounted opposite the sensor at the required detection point. Secure positioning helps maintain the optical path. The passive design requires no separate electrical connection.
Reflectors are commonly used for detecting products and machine components. They are useful in conveyors, packaging systems and automated handling. The passive reflector simplifies the target side of the sensing system. It can support reliable machine detection.
The reflective surface should be kept clean. Mounting should be checked periodically for movement. Any visible optical damage should be evaluated. Proper maintenance supports consistent sensing.
