Why Choose the IMO RL135 Photoelectric Sensor Reflector?
The IMO RL135 is a rectangular photoelectric sensor reflector for compatible retroreflective sensing systems. It provides the optical return target used by a sensor to detect objects interrupting the light path in industrial automation applications.
Its passive construction requires no electrical supply or signal wiring at the reflector. This allows the electrical connections to remain on the sensor side of the installation, simplifying the arrangement of detection points across conveyors and material handling equipment.
With overall dimensions of 20 × 100 × 7.8 mm, the RL135 offers a narrow profile for machinery with limited mounting space. Sensor compatibility, alignment and operating conditions determine the effective detection distance.
Key Advantages
- Passive operation requires no electrical supply at the reflector.
- Narrow rectangular format suits restricted mounting spaces.
- Provides an optical return target for compatible retroreflective sensors.
- Supports object detection without physical contact with the target.
- Simplifies installation by avoiding wiring on the reflector side.
- Suitable for new installations and replacement of matching reflectors.
Key Features
- IMO RL reflector range.
- RL135 model designation.
- 20 × 100 × 7.8 mm overall dimensions.
- Rectangular photoelectric sensing accessory.
- Passive optical construction without electrical switching outputs.
- For positioning opposite a compatible retroreflective sensor.
Optical Detection for Industrial Machinery
A retroreflective photoelectric sensor directs light towards a reflector and monitors the returning beam. When a suitable object interrupts this path, the sensor changes its electrical output according to its configuration. The RL135 serves as the optical target within a compatible installation.
Secure mounting, accurate alignment and a clean reflecting surface help maintain consistent detection. Dust and moisture can reduce optical performance, so the working distance should suit both the selected sensor and the installation environment.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor object detection with compatible photoelectric sensors.
- Package presence monitoring on production lines.
- Component detection on assembly machinery.
- Material handling and transfer points.
- Object counting with suitable sensors and control equipment.
- Replacement of matching reflectors on existing automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IMO RL135 used for?
The RL135 provides an optical return target for a compatible retroreflective photoelectric sensor, enabling detection of objects that interrupt the light path.
What are the dimensions of the IMO RL135?
The reflector measures 20 × 100 × 7.8 mm.
Does the reflector require an electrical supply?
No. The RL135 is a passive optical component and requires no electrical supply or signal wiring.
What sensing distance does the RL135 provide?
The detection distance depends on the sensor and reflector combination, alignment and operating environment; the reflector alone does not define a fixed sensing range.
Where should the reflector be installed?
Install it opposite the compatible photoelectric sensor, aligned with the optical axis so that objects to be detected pass through the light path.
