Designed for reliability and speed, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor operates on a retro-reflective principle with a 620 nm red LED light source, enabling accurate sensing of highly transparent objects like bottles, films, and glass panes. Its sensing range of 0 to 3 meters, combined with autocollimation and tracking function, ensures stable detection performance even in challenging environments where ambient conditions vary.
This model features a rugged diecast zinc housing with a glass lens cover, making it ideal for use in demanding industrial environments. It supports both light switching and dark switching via dual PNP transistor outputs and operates with a 10β30 V DC supply. The fast 1,500 Hz switching frequency and ultra-low 0.33 ms response time make this sensor highly responsive, ideal for fast-moving automation lines. The unit is compact, measuring 15 mm x 47 mm x 32.5 mm, and is fitted with a male M12, A-coded, 4-pin metal connector for reliable signal and power connection. Rated for IP67/IP69K protection, the sensor can withstand washdowns, dust, and extreme temperatures from -40 to +60Β°C, ensuring dependable operation in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and packaging applications.
The Leuze PRK18B.TT3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is perfectly suited for critical detection tasks in modern manufacturing where transparency, reflectivity, or speed can cause false readings in standard sensors. Whether you're automating a water bottling line, detecting transparent film edges, or aligning delicate glass panes, this model delivers precision and stability with minimal recalibration.
Indian automation engineers and maintenance teams will find the Teach button and integrated LED display particularly useful for quick sensor setup and real-time diagnostics. The compact form factor allows easy mounting in tight spaces, while the metal housing ensures long-term resistance to shock, vibration, and cleaning procedures. In applications where downtime is costly, and accuracy is critical, this sensor reduces manual adjustments and supports consistent performance across shifts.
If your automation environment demands speed, reliability, and transparent object detection, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is a smart, long-lasting investment. Request a quote today and experience the precision that only a true industrial-grade photoelectric sensor can offer.
