IFM Efector FT-11-EPA-M4 F1X116X0 Reflection Sensor

IFM Efector FT-11-EPA-M4/F1X1+16X0,265/2M is a fiber-optic diffuse-reflection sensor head (model E20651) designed for short-range object detection in tight spaces. This FT-11 family device uses a fiber-optic interface configured as F1X1+16X0,265/2M, enabling flexible routing and installation where access is limited. As a diffuse-reflection sensor, it detects light reflected from nearby surfaces rather than requiring a dedicated reflector, making it well suited for identifying small parts, labels, or components on conveyors and within compact automation fixtures. A 2-meter fiber optic cable provides routing versatility with a small bending radius, and the sensing head can be cut to size to tailor the exact detection zone for a fixture or enclosure. The compact head and fiber-coupled design support integration in automated packaging lines, electronics assembly, and other manufacturing tasks where space is at a premium. This configuration is specifically cataloged as E20651, ensuring the correct FT-11-EPA-M4/F1X1+16X0,265/2M variant is selected for fiber-based diffuse sensing applications.
