The SICK PL80A is a rectangular retroreflective reflector engineered to enhance the performance of photoelectric sensors in industrial automation. With an 80 mm x 80 mm reflective surface, it efficiently redirects light signals back to the sensor, enabling reliable object detection up to 22 meters in distance when paired with compatible SICK sensors like the W11-2 or W24 . Its PMMA/ABS blend construction ensures resistance to impacts and chemical exposure, while the 2-hole screw mounting system simplifies installation on machinery or conveyor systems. Ideal for applications such as package sorting, material handling, or assembly line monitoring, the PL80A minimizes signal interference and ensures consistent detection even in dusty or high-vibration environments.
Featuring a compact 84 mm x 84 mm form factor, the PL80A offers flexible integration into tight spaces without compromising performance. The M3 threaded holes allow for direct mounting using standard screws, eliminating the need for additional brackets or adapters. Its wide operating temperature range of –30 °C to +65 °C ensures reliable operation in extreme climates, from freezing warehouses to high-temperature production zones . The reflector’s angular design maximizes light return efficiency, making it suitable for both short-range and long-range detection tasks. Whether used in standalone setups or complex sensor networks, the PL80A reduces installation time and enhances system adaptability.
Built to withstand industrial challenges, the PL80A boasts an IP67-rated enclosure (dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion) , ensuring resilience in dusty, wet, or outdoor environments. The robust PMMA/ABS material resists scratches and UV degradation, maintaining optimal reflectivity over time. With RoHS compliance, it meets environmental standards for safe use in global manufacturing facilities . The lightweight design (45 g) facilitates easy handling and repositioning, while the precise alignment of the reflective surface guarantees consistent signal quality. For industries requiring long-term reliability, the PL80A is a cost-effective solution that minimizes maintenance and downtime.
