The advantages are easy to see
A growing number of organizations are putting 3M™
Prismatic Remote Sensing Target 3000X to work in
applications ranging from bar code reading to satellite
tracking. It’s easy to understand why. 3M’s 3000X targets
make it easy to design sensing and control systems based
on a range of sensors. Using 3000X targets in remote
sensing systems gives you increased readability, range and
accuracy—and greater control.
3M 3000X target’s specially designed microprismatic
construction with cube-corner optics provides maximum
brightness and contrast per unit area for use with a large
number of polarized light sources, and laser, standard
visible and infrared controllers. Its flexible, synthetic resin
construction can be hand or die-cut in shapes and sizes to
fit many applications, allowing for greater system design
flexibility.
With a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive backing,
3000X is easy to handle and apply to most clean surfaces,
reducing the need for mechanical fasteners and its impact
resistant, low profile is ideal for use in high traffic zones
because it minimizes surface obstruction, reducing cost
and system downtime from damaged reflectors. 3M
3000X targets are readable at large entrance angles for an
improved signal with skewed containers or controllers.
They are dust and dirt resistant, and easy to clean.
Brighter than white—and better
than mirrors
3M 3000X is up to 3,000 times as bright as a plain white
surface. And unlike mirrors, 3M sheeting reflects light
back to its source, so it doesn’t need to be precisely
aligned.
High performance for a variety of
sensing applications
3M prismatic remote sensing targets are currently used in
a wide range of applications including warehouse sorting,
bar code enhancement, automatic guidance, process
control, security sensing, precision measurement, motion
studies and even satellite tracking. Whatever application
you envision, 3M has high performance materials to meet
your needs.

High luminance and reliable reflection
Many remote systems work by detecting light—usually
reflected light. To perform at maximum efficiency, they
need a reflector that offers maximum performance. With
luminance values many times brighter than a plain white
surface and reliable reflection at virtually any angle from
less than 45 degrees up to 90 degrees, 3000X targets help
increase the range and sensitivity of your system.
