The E20851 reflector provides a passive optical target for compatible retro-reflective sensors. It supports reliable optical beam return for object detection applications. The TS40-01 configuration is suitable for compact automation installations. It is designed for industrial sensing systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The reflector returns the sensor's emitted optical signal toward the receiving element. When an object interrupts the beam, the sensor can identify the change. This provides a straightforward detection arrangement. Correct positioning is important.
The reflector should be securely mounted opposite the compatible sensor. Its compact design can support installation in limited machine space. Proper alignment helps maintain stable optical communication. Installation should account for machine movement and vibration.
The reflector can support object detection on conveyors, packaging machines and production lines. It requires no separate power or electrical wiring. This simplifies the target side of a retro-reflective sensing system. It is suitable for automated production.
The reflective surface should remain clean and unobstructed. Mounting stability should be checked periodically. Contamination or physical damage may affect optical performance. Routine cleaning and inspection are recommended.
