Why Choose the IMO RL100D Retroreflective Tape?
The IMO RL100D is a flexible self-adhesive retroreflective tape designed for use with compatible photoelectric sensors in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Rather than using a rigid reflector, the RL100D provides a reflective target that can be cut to the required length and attached directly to a suitable surface.
Supplied as a 75 mm wide reflective strip, the RL100D is particularly useful where conventional moulded reflectors are inconvenient because of the available mounting space, target shape or installation arrangement. Its adhesive backing allows straightforward attachment to machinery, moving targets and other suitable surfaces within a retroreflective sensing system.
When used with compatible IMO polarised retroreflective photoelectric sensors, the RL100D can provide sensing distances of up to approximately 5 m, depending on the sensor model, installation and operating conditions. This makes it a practical accessory for presence detection, positioning and object-monitoring applications throughout industrial automation systems.

Flexible Reflective Target for Photoelectric Sensors
Retroreflective photoelectric sensors operate by transmitting a light beam towards a reflector and monitoring the returned light. When an object interrupts the optical path, the sensor changes its output state. The IMO RL100D provides the reflective target required by compatible sensors while offering greater installation flexibility than a conventional rigid reflector.
The self-adhesive 75 mm wide format makes the RL100D particularly useful for applications requiring a customised reflector size or a reflective target attached directly to equipment. With compatible IMO polarised retroreflective sensors, it can form part of a dependable non-contact detection system for machinery and automated production equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor object detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and positioning systems.
- Automated doors, gates and access equipment.
- Machine presence and position monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IMO RL100D used for?
The IMO RL100D is a retroreflective tape used as the reflective target for compatible retroreflective photoelectric sensors in industrial detection and automation applications.
How wide is the IMO RL100D reflective tape?
The RL100D is supplied as a 75 mm wide reflective strip, allowing the required reflector length to be selected for the application.
How is the IMO RL100D installed?
The RL100D has a self-adhesive backing and can be attached directly to a suitable clean surface to create a reflective target for the photoelectric sensor.
What sensing distance can the RL100D provide?
The achievable distance depends on the photoelectric sensor used and the installation conditions. Compatible IMO FALN series polarised retroreflective sensors are specified for sensing distances of up to approximately 5 m when used with the RL100D.
Why use reflective tape instead of a rigid reflector?
Reflective tape provides a flexible and customisable reflective target that can be cut to suit an installation, making it useful where the dimensions, shape or mounting arrangement make a conventional rigid reflector less convenient.
Flexible Detection for Industrial Automation
IMO photoelectric sensing accessories provide machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers with practical components for reliable non-contact object detection, positioning and monitoring across industrial machinery and automated systems.
