RL102 IMO Reflector 26mm dia, x 5mm

Why Choose the IMO RL102 Photoelectric Sensor Reflector?

The IMO RL102 is a compact round retroreflector for polarised reflective photoelectric sensors, designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machine-control applications. As part of the RL series of sensor reflectors, it returns the emitted light from a compatible retroreflective sensor, allowing the sensor to detect when an object interrupts the optical path.

With a compact diameter of approximately 25 mm, the RL102 is particularly suitable for installations where available mounting space is limited. Its small circular format also makes it useful for closely spaced sensor installations, while the durable construction provides a practical reflective target for industrial sensing systems.

The RL102 features a PMMA acrylic reflective face with an ABS base and has an IEC IP67 protection rating. It requires customer-supplied adhesive or another suitable mounting method, allowing the reflector to be positioned according to the requirements of the application.

Reliable Reflective Target for Photoelectric Sensors

Retroreflective photoelectric sensors operate by transmitting a beam of light towards a reflector and monitoring the light returned to the sensor. When an object passes between the sensor and reflector, the returned beam is interrupted and the sensor changes its output state, providing reliable non-contact detection for automated machinery.

The compact IMO RL102 provides the reflective target required for this sensing principle while occupying minimal panel or machine space. For optimum performance, the reflector should be kept clean and positioned approximately perpendicular to the optical axis of the sensor, with the final installation following the requirements of the selected photoelectric sensor.
