Introduction

The E20851 reflector is an important accessory for retro-reflective sensor systems used in industrial automation. It provides a dedicated reflective surface that returns the emitted optical signal toward the sensor. This arrangement enables reliable detection of objects passing through the sensing area. The compact accessory can be integrated into machinery where installation space is limited. It is suitable for production, handling, packaging, and general factory automation applications.

Design & Functionality

The reflector is designed to work as a defined optical target for compatible retro-reflective sensors. Its construction supports practical mounting and positioning within an automated sensing arrangement. Correct alignment between the sensor and reflector helps maintain stable detection. The accessory simplifies the creation of a repeatable photoelectric sensing path. Its dedicated reflector format makes it suitable for organized industrial sensor installations.

Benefits & Performance

The E20851 supports dependable object detection when correctly paired and aligned with a compatible sensor. It helps establish a consistent optical return path for the sensing system. Its compact form can simplify integration into machinery and equipment. Proper reflector positioning can improve detection stability and reduce alignment-related interruptions. The accessory is useful for continuous industrial automation processes requiring repeatable sensing.

Installation & Industrial Use

The reflector should be installed securely and aligned with the associated retro-reflective sensor. The sensing path should remain clear of unnecessary obstructions and excessive contamination. It can be used on machinery frames, conveyor systems, handling equipment, and automation structures. Correct mounting helps maintain the intended optical relationship between sensor and reflector. It is suitable for industrial installations where reliable object presence detection is required.
