IFM Fibre Optic Through-Beam Sensor E20827 provides reliable non-contact object detection for industrial automation and production equipment. Its through-beam optical principle detects targets by interruption of the light path, supporting repeatable presence and counting functions. Fibre optic installation offers flexibility for compact machinery, conveyors, packaging systems, assembly equipment and automated production lines.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
E20827 is a fibre optic through-beam sensing solution designed for industrial object detection. The transmitter and receiver create an optical path that is interrupted when an object enters the detection area. Fibre optic construction allows the sensing point to be installed flexibly, particularly where conventional sensor housings may not fit conveniently.
The E20827 supports accurate object detection and monitoring in automated machinery. Through-beam operation provides a defined detection principle that is useful for counting and presence monitoring. It can be integrated into conveyors, packaging machines, assembly equipment and production systems where consistent optical detection is required.
E20827 is suitable for industrial applications requiring flexible and dependable fibre optic detection. Its through-beam sensing principle supports repeatable detection while the fibre optic arrangement can simplify installation in compact areas. It is a practical choice for automated production, material handling and machine-monitoring systems.
