Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8 | 50133403

With advanced autocollimation and a focused red laser beam, the Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8 delivers pinpoint accuracy over a 0 to 0.4-meter sensing distance. Its laser light source operates at 620 nm wavelength and generates a sharp, round light spot for precise edge or transparent object detection. Housed in a 14 × 35.6 × 20.3 mm cubic stainless steel body, the sensor withstands aggressive washdowns and corrosive conditions, thanks to its robust AISI 316L housing and a scratch-resistant Indium-coated lens. This makes it highly suitable for use in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical lines where hygiene and mechanical resilience are non-negotiable.

It operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply and supports Push-pull transistor output for both PNP light switching and NPN dark switching, enabling seamless integration into both sourcing and sinking input systems. The sensor offers an ultra-fast 0.25 ms response time and an impressive 2,000 Hz switching frequency, making it ideal for high-throughput lines. The standard M8 4-pin male connector simplifies installation, while the integrated LED display and Teach button ensure intuitive setup and status indication.

Built to endure IP67 and IP69K environments and function across a wide temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, the PRKL 53/6.42-S8 Photoelectric Sensor from Leuze ensures consistent performance in wet, hot, and chemically harsh environments. For engineers demanding accuracy, hygiene compliance, and long-term durability, this photoelectric sensor is a top-tier choice trusted worldwide.

The Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8 Photoelectric Sensor is specially designed for critical detection tasks involving highly transparent bottles, such as those used in mineral water, soft drinks, or pharmaceutical liquids. These applications often pose challenges for standard sensors due to reflection issues and inconsistent object visibility. With its autocollimation optics and focused laser beam, this sensor accurately detects bottle edges and surfaces with minimal deviation—even when the container is clear or lightly tinted.

Senior maintenance engineers rely on its fast 0.25 ms response time to count fast-moving containers on conveyors without missing a single object. For junior technicians and students, the sensor offers a simple learning curve—thanks to its visual LED indicators and the Teach button, which make installation and calibration straightforward. The hygienic stainless steel housing adds an extra layer of assurance in washdown environments, such as beverage bottling, dairy processing, and pharmaceutical packaging.

Whether you're upgrading a legacy detection station or designing a new production line, the Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8 Photoelectric Sensor offers a high-performance, easy-to-integrate solution. It improves detection accuracy, reduces maintenance downtime, and delivers consistent results in critical automation setups. Trust this industry-leading photoelectric sensor to meet your quality and compliance standards while boosting operational reliability.
