Leuze PRK 18/44 L.43 | 50115193

The Leuze PRK 18/44 L.43 Photoelectric Sensor features a cubic stainless-steel housing with dimensions of 15 mm x 50 mm x 33 mm, making it compact and ideal for installations in tight spaces. Operating on the reflection principle, it uses a red LED light source with a wavelength of 660 nm to deliver accurate detection across a sensing range of 0 to 3 meters. Its autocollimation technology ensures consistent performance even when sensing transparent materials like glass panes or clear plastic films. Built for industrial conditions, the sensor supports a supply voltage of 10 to 30 V DC and offers dual PNP transistor outputs for both light switching and dark switching modes. With a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz and 0.5 ms response time, it is suitable for fast automation environments requiring real-time object sensing. The M12 4-pin A-coded male connector simplifies electrical integration, while its step switch operational control allows precise on-site configuration. The device offers a high level of protection with its IP67/IP69K-rated housing, safeguarding it from dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns. Internally, the glass lens cover enhances optical clarity, while the LED display provides real-time status indication. Operating in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +55°C, the Leuze PRK 18/44 L.43 Photoelectric Sensor delivers high reliability in demanding factory settings. It's a trusted choice for automation engineers who value precision, robustness, and flexibility in transparent object detection.

The Leuze PRK 18/44 L.43 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in bottling lines, packaging machines, and inspection systems that require dependable detection of highly transparent materials. Whether it's identifying clear PET bottles before filling, verifying film-wrapped packaging on conveyors, or monitoring glass components during production, this sensor ensures that every detection event is accurate and repeatable. Thanks to its compact design, high-frequency switching, and precise beam control, engineers can deploy it in space-constrained setups without sacrificing performance. The autocollimation and tracking functions further enhance detection reliability, even when dealing with curved or uneven transparent surfaces. With its high protection class and easy-to-configure step switch control, maintenance teams can set it up quickly and ensure long-term stability with minimal calibration. For Indian industrial users dealing with false detections or missed reads in transparent object handling, the Leuze PRK 18/44 L.43 Photoelectric Sensor offers a robust and proven sensing solution.
