IFM E21277 is a 0.5 mm pinhole mask designed for O6E and O6S photoelectric sensors. It helps improve the detection of very small objects by restricting the sensor beam. The stainless-steel mask provides stable mounting and reliable performance in demanding industrial sensing applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Precision Detection
E21277 is designed to improve the detection capability of O6E and O6S through-beam photoelectric sensors. The 0.5 mm pinhole restricts the sensing beam to support detection of smaller objects. This makes the accessory useful where precise object detection is required. The mask can help reduce the effective sensing area for specialized applications. It provides a practical solution for fine detection requirements.
Small Object Detection
The pinhole mask is designed for detecting very small objects that may be difficult to detect with the standard sensor arrangement. E21277 has a sensing range of approximately 0.08 m. The smallest detectable object is approximately 0.2 mm when the appropriate configuration is used. This enables more precise detection in suitable applications. The smallest object detection capability requires masks on both transmitter and receiver.
Stable Stainless Steel Construction
The mask is manufactured from stainless steel 1.4310 / 301. This provides a durable and rigid structure for repeated industrial use. The stainless-steel construction helps maintain the aperture shape during operation. Its compact design allows easy integration with compatible O6 sensors. The material is suitable for demanding automation environments.
Easy Sensor Accessory Installation
E21277 is designed as an accessory for O6E and O6S photoelectric sensors. Its compact construction supports straightforward attachment to the sensor arrangement. The mask provides stable positioning during operation. It can be used where the standard sensing beam needs to be narrowed. This makes it useful for specialized object detection tasks.
