5341576

Overview

The SICK part number 5341576 corresponds to the PL20A, a reflective optical element designed for use with photoelectric sensors. This component functions as a retro-reflective sheet, providing a high-efficiency surface for light beam return in sensing applications. It is engineered to enhance detection reliability and range by optimizing the reflection of incident light back to the sensor receiver. The unit is supplied individually and serves as a critical accessory for establishing secure light paths in automated monitoring systems.

Feature Summary

• Functions as a dedicated reflective sheet for retro-reflective photoelectric sensing systems
• Engineered to provide consistent and efficient light beam return for reliable object detection

Applications

• Retro-reflective photoelectric sensor setups requiring standardized reflection surfaces
• Automated industrial monitoring systems utilizing light beam interruption or reflection principles
• Safety and presence detection installations where reliable optical path definition is required

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering identifier matches the specific product designation for the PL20A reflective sheet. Confirm compatibility with the intended SICK photoelectric sensor model prior to acquisition. Ensure the application environment aligns with the material specifications of the reflective element to maintain optical performance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated reflective surface is required for retro-reflective sensing configurations. It is suitable for applications where standard reflectors are insufficient or when specific mounting dimensions are necessary. Verify that the sensor system supports retro-reflective operation modes before integrating this optical element into the assembly.

Part Context

This item belongs to the accessories category for SICK photoelectric sensors, specifically within the line of reflective sheets and optical components. It is distinct from active sensor units such as the M4000 series or IQ40 series, serving instead as a passive optical aid to facilitate detection through light reflection rather than emitting signals independently.
