Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8.3 | 50114884

Engineered for pinpoint accuracy, the Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8.3 operates on a reflection principle with autocollimation, ensuring consistent detection of highly transparent materials. The focused laser beam, with a 620 nm wavelength and round spot geometry, enables precise sensing up to 0.4 meters. This is especially valuable in bottling lines or high-speed packaging setups where clear objects are difficult to detect using standard sensors.

The sensor features a rugged AISI 316L stainless steel housing, measuring just 14 x 35.6 x 20.3 mm, which is ideal for compact machine installations. Its IP67/IP69K-rated enclosure and scratch-resistant Indium-coated lens provide exceptional resistance against water, steam, and aggressive cleaning chemicals. Powered by a 10–30 V DC supply, the device supports Push-pull transistor output and delivers a rapid 0.25 ms response time with a 2,000 Hz switching frequency, ensuring accuracy in high-speed operations.

Installation is simplified via a standard M8 3-pin connector, while the integrated LED display and intuitive Teach button allow for quick calibration and setup. With reliable performance across a wide temperature range of -30 to +70°C, the Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8.3 Photoelectric Sensor is trusted by automation professionals worldwide. For further technical data, refer to the official Leuze product catalog.

The Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8.3 Photoelectric Sensor is especially effective in detecting highly transparent bottles on automated filling and packaging lines. These bottles—commonly used in the food, pharma, and beverage industries—often cause missed detections due to minimal light reflection. This model solves that problem using autocollimation optics and a tightly focused laser, enabling stable object detection even at high conveyor speeds.

For senior maintenance engineers, the quick 0.25 ms response time means zero compromise in accuracy during high-speed operations. The sensor’s rugged, IP69K-rated stainless steel body resists moisture, heat, and harsh cleaning agents, making it suitable for washdown zones. Junior technicians and engineering students will appreciate the simplicity of installation using the M8 connector and the Teach button for on-site calibration without a PC.

Whether you're upgrading existing machines or designing a new automation process, the Leuze PRKL 53/6.42-S8.3 Photoelectric Sensor offers a reliable, plug-and-play solution for detecting transparent objects with high repeatability. Choose this trusted photoelectric sensor for cleaner, faster, and smarter detection across your production line.
