Product Description

SICK OP60-20 Triple Glass Reflector for Long-Range Photoelectric Sensors

The SICK OP60-20 triple glass reflector is a high-performance optical component developed to extend the effective operating distance of retro-reflective photoelectric sensors. Designed for industrial automation environments, it addresses the challenge of maintaining strong and stable signal return over long sensing ranges. The reflector features a precision triple-glass optical structure with a fixed focal length optimized for long-distance detection, combined with a rugged anodized aluminum body. This design ensures reliable operation, mechanical stability, and consistent sensing accuracy in applications where standard reflectors may struggle to perform.

The SICK OP60-20 enhances detection reliability by concentrating and returning light efficiently to the sensor receiver, even across extended distances. Its triple glass construction improves signal consistency, helping to minimize errors caused by ambient light interference, dust, or slight misalignment. The solid screw-mounted housing supports precise installation and long-term stability, reducing maintenance needs. In practical use, this results in dependable object detection on long conveyors, automated warehouse systems, and large machine enclosures, where uninterrupted sensing performance directly contributes to higher system uptime and smoother production flow.

Why SICK OP60-20?
SICK OP60-20 is chosen when detection reliability at long distances is non-negotiable. Its precision triple-glass optical design is engineered to return a strong, concentrated signal that standard reflectors cannot achieve. This allows sensors to operate closer to their maximum rated range with confidence. Combined with a rigid metal housing and stable mounting concept, OP60-20 delivers predictable performance, reduced alignment effort, and long-term operational stability in demanding industrial environments.

What problem does it solve?
The SICK OP60-20 solves the challenge of unreliable long-range photoelectric sensing caused by weak signal return, environmental interference, or mechanical instability. In large machines, long conveyors, or open production zones, conventional reflectors often lead to false switching or reduced sensing distance. OP60-20 overcomes this by enhancing light reflection efficiency and maintaining optical consistency, ensuring accurate detection, fewer stoppages, and improved system uptime in real-world industrial automation systems.

The Applications

1. Stable Object Detection on Extended Conveyor Systems

In large factories and logistics facilities, conveyor lines can span long distances where reflected signals weaken and detection becomes inconsistent. When paired with a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor, the OP60-20 reflector supports reliable sensing across these extended spans by returning a concentrated and stable light signal. Its triple-glass optical design helps overcome issues caused by dust, vibration, and uneven conveyor surfaces. The rigid screw-mounted construction maintains precise alignment over time, reducing false switching and minimizing maintenance. This ensures dependable detection of boxes, trays, or pallets moving continuously through high-throughput conveyor systems.

2. Pallet Position Verification in High-Bay Warehouses

High-bay automated warehouses require accurate pallet detection across wide aisles and tall storage racks. The OP60-20 reflector enables sensors to operate effectively at longer distances, allowing flexible installation even when physical access is limited. Its strong reflective performance helps maintain consistent signal return despite ambient lighting changes and airborne particles. The durable metal housing withstands mechanical stress from nearby equipment, ensuring long-term stability. This reliable pallet position verification supports smooth storage and retrieval cycles while reducing system interruptions caused by missed detections or unstable sensor feedback.

3. Access Monitoring in Large Industrial Machines

Industrial machines with wide access openings or protective zones demand dependable long-range detection to maintain operational safety. The OP60-20 reflector improves reflected signal strength, allowing photoelectric sensors to monitor these areas with greater confidence. Its precision optical alignment ensures consistent detection even in environments with fluctuating light conditions. The robust aluminum construction resists vibration from heavy machinery, preventing gradual misalignment. This supports continuous monitoring of access doors or safety zones, helping to maintain safe operation while avoiding unnecessary machine stops caused by unreliable sensing.

4. Vehicle Detection in Automated Transport and Handling Systems

Automated transport systems rely on accurate vehicle detection to manage movement, spacing, and stopping positions. The OP60-20 reflector enhances detection reliability by delivering a strong reflected signal that remains stable despite dust, floor reflections, or variations in vehicle surfaces. Its large reflective area improves tolerance to minor alignment deviations, while the solid mounting prevents drift over time. This allows sensors to detect approaching vehicles earlier and more consistently, supporting smoother traffic control, reduced positioning errors, and higher overall efficiency in automated material handling environments.
