The Banner BRT-40X23 is a compact and durable retroreflective target designed for use with photoelectric sensors in retroreflective mode. Constructed from high-quality acrylic material, this reflector provides excellent light return efficiency and long service life, even when exposed to demanding industrial conditions. Its rectangular shape, with dimensions of 40 x 23.5 mm and a reflective area of 40 x 23 mm, makes it a versatile choice for integration into automation systems where space is limited but reliable sensing performance is required.

As a retroreflective accessory, the BRT-40X23 is used in conjunction with photoelectric sensors that emit and detect light from the same housing. The reflector returns the emitted light beam back to the sensor, and an object is detected when it interrupts this return path. This method allows for straightforward, one-sided installation, reducing the need to mount both an emitter and receiver on opposite sides of a detection zone. By simplifying installation, the reflector lowers system complexity and helps minimise wiring and labour costs.

The BRT-40X23’s acrylic construction provides durability and resistance to impacts, scratches, and environmental wear. Acrylic reflectors are well-suited for indoor and moderate outdoor applications, where they can withstand exposure to dust, vibration, and occasional moisture while continuing to deliver consistent reflectivity. The absence of a microprism design ensures a simpler optical surface that provides a wide reflective angle, making alignment with sensors easier and less critical. This design feature is particularly useful in applications where frequent repositioning or vibration may affect sensor alignment.

Typical applications for the BRT-40X23 include conveyor monitoring, package detection, pallet sensing, and material handling systems, where retroreflective photoelectric sensors are employed. Its compact size allows it to fit into tight mounting areas, while its flat rectangular design provides a reliable reflective surface for stable sensor operation. It is also suitable for use in assembly stations, packaging equipment, and quality control processes where precise detection is essential.

Since the reflector is supplied individually, it is easy for engineers and maintenance personnel to replace or add them as needed in expanding or upgrading automation systems. Combined with its durability and compatibility with a wide range of Banner retroreflective sensors, the BRT-40X23 offers both cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

In summary, the Banner BRT-40X23 is a compact, reliable, and versatile retroreflective target built from acrylic material. With its rectangular shape, 40 x 23 mm reflective area, IP-compatible durability, and single-piece supply, it provides a practical solution for enabling accurate retroreflective sensor operation in industrial automation applications where precision, space efficiency, and rugged performance are required.
