The E20956 is a TS-50 reflector designed to provide an optical return target for compatible retro-reflective sensors. It supports photoelectric detection by reflecting the sensor's emitted light back toward the sensing element. Correct installation and alignment help maintain reliable detection. The reflector is suitable for industrial automation and machine applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The TS-50 provides the reflective surface required for retro-reflective sensing. The sensor emits light toward the reflector and receives the returned signal during normal operation. When an object blocks the optical path, the change in received light can be detected. This allows automated equipment to identify objects and presence conditions.
A properly installed reflector helps create a consistent optical sensing path. Correct alignment reduces the possibility of signal interruption caused by installation errors. The reflector can therefore contribute to repeatable photoelectric detection. It is suitable for applications where dependable object sensing is required.
The reflector can be mechanically mounted using suitable mounting accessories. Its installation position can be selected according to the machine's sensing area. This allows the sensor and reflector to be integrated into different equipment layouts. Stable mounting helps maintain the required optical alignment.
The TS-50 can be used in automated production and material handling environments. Typical applications include conveyor object detection, packaging systems, and machine presence monitoring. The passive reflector requires no separate power supply. This keeps the sensing arrangement simple and practical.
