IFM Fibre Optic Through-Beam Sensor E20128 provides reliable optical object detection for industrial automation applications. Its through-beam sensing principle detects objects when they interrupt the optical path between transmitter and receiver. Fibre optic construction enables flexible installation in compact machine areas and supports accurate presence detection, counting, positioning and production monitoring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
E20128 is designed for through-beam fibre optic detection in automated industrial equipment. A transmitter and receiver arrangement creates a defined optical sensing path, allowing objects to be detected when the beam is interrupted. Fibre optics provide flexibility for positioning the sensing point in areas where conventional sensor installation may be difficult.
E20128 can provide dependable object detection for automated machinery and production lines. The through-beam arrangement is useful for reliable presence detection and counting because object interruption of the beam provides a clear detection event. It can be applied to conveyors, packaging, assembly and material-handling systems.
E20128 offers a flexible solution for precise optical detection in industrial automation. Fibre optic sensing can simplify installation in compact machine areas while through-beam operation provides reliable object detection. It is suitable for applications requiring repeatable presence monitoring, counting and positioning.
