2TLA022044R3000 ABB REFLECT 2 82 mm Muting Sensor Reflector

Why Choose the ABB REFLECT 2 Muting Sensor Reflector?

The ABB REFLECT 2 (2TLA022044R3000) is an 82 mm diameter reflector for muting sensor applications within ABB machine-safety systems. Part of ABB's accessories for optical safety devices, REFLECT 2 is designed to work with the ABB Mute R2 retro-reflective photoelectric muting sensor, returning the sensor's emitted light to support reliable object detection.

REFLECT 2 provides a larger reflective target than the 63 mm REFLECT 1 and supports a typical Mute R2 operating distance of 0.1–5 m. This makes it a practical accessory for conveyor, material-transfer and automated production installations where muting sensors are used alongside safety light curtains or light grids.

The reflector is associated with ABB's Orion Extended optical safety systems, including Orion1 Extended, Orion2 Extended and Orion3 Extended installations. As a passive reflector, REFLECT 2 requires no electrical supply or wiring, helping provide a straightforward and low-maintenance component for retro-reflective muting sensor arrangements.

Reliable Reflection for Optical Muting Applications

Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors operate by transmitting a light beam towards a reflector and detecting the light returned from that reflector. When an object interrupts the optical path, the sensor can detect the change and provide the required signal to the associated control system.

When paired with the ABB Mute R2 sensor, REFLECT 2 provides the reflective target needed for this operating principle and supports typical sensing distances up to 5 m. In suitable machine-safety installations, muting sensors can be used to identify permitted material movement through a protected area while the associated optical safety system manages the muting function.

Typical Applications

• Muting sensor systems for industrial conveyors.
• ABB Orion Extended safety light curtain installations.
• Automated pallet and material transfer systems.
• Production and packaging machinery.
