Polarized retro-reflective reflector | for photoelectric sensors | for transparent object detection | 62x51mm

Technical Specifications

Type: Polarized retro-reflector
Dimensions: 62x51mm 
Compatibility: For polarized reflection and transparent object detection sensors
Application: Used with photoelectric sensors

Functions and Operating Principle

The reflector works together with a photoelectric sensor that emits a light beam (usually infrared or red). The beam reflects off the surface of the reflector and returns to the sensor. When an object passes between the sensor and the reflector, the beam is interrupted – allowing the system to detect the object.
Detects:

Transparent objects (e.g. bottles, glass containers, plastic film)

Mirror-like or glossy surfaces

Fast-moving products on conveyors

Applications

For electricians: Easy to install with photoelectric sensor systems in conveyors and automated equipment.
For engineers: A reliable component for designing optical detection systems, suitable for manufacturing and quality control automation.
For home users: Can be used in prototypes, automatic doors, garage gate systems, or robotics projects.
For industrial technicians: Ideal for environments where fast response and resistance to external interference are required.

Key Advantages

High reflection efficiency – ensures stable operation even in dusty environments

Universal compatibility – suitable for various polarized reflection sensors, including transparent object detection

Durable and reliable construction – resistant to environmental influences, long-lasting

Easy installation – the cylindrical shape ensures stable mounting and quick maintenance

High detection accuracy – allows precise and repeatable sensor operation

Possible Drawbacks

Requires precise alignment – the sensor and reflector must be accurately positioned for optimal detection performance

Does not operate independently – the reflector is a passive element and must be used with a photoelectric sensor
