Built with German engineering standards, the Leuze PRK18B.XT2/4P-M12 features a rugged diecast zinc metal housing in a cubic form factor measuring 15 mm x 47 mm x 32.5 mm. It utilizes a visible red LED light source with a 620 nm wavelength and autocollimation optics to detect clear objects like bottles, films, and glass panes. Its long-range capability of up to 4 meters ensures dependable sensing without false triggers in high-speed or vibration-prone areas.
This photoelectric sensor is powered by a 10β30 V DC supply and supports dual PNP transistor outputsβconfigured for both light switching and dark switching logic. It offers a fast switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a swift response time of 0.33 ms, ensuring optimal performance in rapid conveyor systems. Installation is simplified with a standard M12 male connector (A-coded, 4-pin), while configuration is easily handled using the integrated Teach button. With its IP67 / IP69K protection rating and broad -40Β°C to +60Β°C temperature tolerance, this sensor thrives in harsh, washdown, or dusty environments. Trusted across industries, the PRK18B.XT2/4P-M12 delivers exceptional accuracy, build quality, and lifecycle reliability.
The Leuze PRK18B.XT2/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for use in Indian factories and automation setups where detecting transparent materials is a daily challenge. Whether you're working with glass containers, PET bottles, shrink wrap, or glossy plastic films, this sensor provides stable detection without the constant need for recalibration.
Many traditional sensors struggle with low contrast or light interference during bottle filling or packaging operations. This Leuze model solves that by using autocollimation technology, which ensures the emitter and receiver are perfectly aligned to detect even ultra-clear targets. Maintenance teams benefit from the quick-connect M12 interface and visual alignment support via the LED display. For machine designers and engineers, itβs a go-to model that reduces installation complexity while increasing detection consistency.
If you're seeking a reliable photoelectric sensor for transparent object detection, the Leuze PRK18B.XT2/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is built for your production line. Its superior optical stability, robust housing, and global service support make it a preferred choice for OEMs, system integrators, and plant engineers.
