IFM E21015 Reflective Tape — High‑performance target for retro‑reflective sensors

Boost detection reliability in industrial automation with IFM’s E21015 Reflective Tape. Designed as a high-contrast target for photoelectric retro-reflective sensors, it delivers a strong return signal with both red-light and infrared emitters. Ideal for presence detection on conveyors, packaging lines, material handling cells, and guarding, it helps stabilize switching behavior, extend usable sensing range, and reduce false trips from background objects—supporting tighter control loops with PLCs, actuators, and valve systems.

Key Benefits:

• Optimized reflectivity for red and IR photoelectric sensors
• Fast, clean installation with adhesive backing—no brackets required
• Enhances sensing range and signal-to-noise ratio
• Cut-to-length flexibility for custom mounting areas
• Helps speed commissioning and alignment

Technical Overview:

• Brand/Model: IFM E21015
• Function: Retro-reflective target tape for photoelectric sensors
• Spectral suitability: Visible red and infrared emitters
• Mounting method: Peel-and-stick, pressure-sensitive adhesive
• Form factor: Adhesive-backed tape; trim to size to fit sensor field of view
