SICK for Use with Laser Sensors, Reflector, RoHS Standard

SICK Reflector, 32mm Length, 20mm Width - PL10F

This reflector is a passive reflective target designed to work with laser sensors in industrial sensing applications. It serves as a return surface to complete optical detection circuits, providing a clear reference for sensors used in automation, electronics and mechanical environments. The component is Compact and intended for integration where a defined reflective surface is required.

Features and Benefits:

• Compact form enables installation in confined spaces High compatibility with laser-based detection enhances signal return Narrow width allows placement on small fixtures or assemblies RoHS-compliant construction supports regulated installations Simple accessory format reduces system complexity

Applications

• Suitable for alignment of laser sensors in production lines Ideal for use as a reflective target in presence-detection setups Used with laser sensors for object detection calibration Can be used for retrofitting existing sensor systems with a reflective surface

How should it be positioned relative to a laser sensor for reliable detection?

Align the reflector directly opposite the emitter so the beam meets the surface perpendicularly to maximise returned signal strength
small angular deviations can reduce detection range.

What environmental considerations affect its performance?

Surface contamination such as dust or grease will degrade reflectivity, so routine cleaning is recommended to maintain consistent sensor readings.

Can it function as a general-purpose reflective surface across different sensor makes?

Yes, it operates as a universal reflective target for compatible laser sensors, provided the sensor is designed for reflector-based detection.

How does material compliance influence installation choices?

The RoHS-compliant construction ensures it meets common regulatory restrictions on hazardous substances, aiding selection for regulated facilities.
