SICK PL20A Sensor
SICK PL20A compact reflector plate, part 1012719. 20 mm class reflector for short-range retro-reflective sensing in tight spaces.
Overview
The SICK PL20A (part number 1012719) is a compact reflector plate for retro-reflective photoelectric sensors. Its small size suits tight detection paths where a full-size reflector cannot be installed but reliable beam return is required.
How It Works
The reflector's micro-prism or corner-cube surface returns the sensor beam to its source. Mounted opposite a retro-reflective sensor, it completes the light path that the sensor monitors for interruptions.
Key Features
- Compact reflector plate, 20 mm class
- Part number 1012719
- Suitable for small detection paths
- Reliable parallel light return
- Easy adhesive or bracket mounting
Typical Applications
- Reflectors for compact photoelectric installations
- Small light barriers on machinery
- Detection zones with limited mounting space
- Replacement reflectors for existing sensors
