Leuze PRK53CL1.T3/LT-M8 | 50150673

With a powerful combination of laser-based optics, hygienic design, and ultra-fast switching, the Leuze PRK53CL1.T3/LT-M8 Photoelectric Sensor delivers unmatched performance in modern automation. Its collimated red laser beam (650 nm) ensures precise detection of transparent targets such as bottles or films with a reliable sensing range of 0 to 0.4 meters. Thanks to its autocollimation principle, even low-contrast objects are detected accurately without the need for constant adjustment.

The sensor is housed in a cubic AISI 316L stainless steel enclosure, with a compact form factor of 14 mm x 35.4 mm x 20.4 mm, making it easy to mount in space-constrained applications. It offers a highly responsive 0.17 ms switching time and operates at 3,000 Hz switching frequency, ideal for fast-moving production lines. The push-pull transistor output supports IO-Link, enabling advanced diagnostics and configuration. Powered by a 10–30 V DC supply (with ripple tolerance), this sensor integrates seamlessly into both legacy and modern PLC systems.

Built to perform in harsh industrial conditions, the PRK53CL1.T3/LT-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is equipped with an M8 male 4-pin connector and has a rugged IP67/IP68/IP69K protection rating. Its PMMA+ lens cover with an Indium scratch-resistant coating ensures durability in aggressive cleaning and washdown zones. The intuitive Teach button and clear LED display simplify setup and status monitoring, while the temperature tolerance of -40 to +70°C makes it suitable for cold storage and high-heat operations alike. This sensor exemplifies Leuze’s commitment to performance, hygiene, and long-term reliability in industrial automation. Visit Leuze official website for more.

The Leuze PRK53CL1.T3/LT-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is designed for one of the toughest challenges in automation—detecting transparent bottles and thin films that ordinary sensors often miss. Its collimated laser beam makes detection accurate even when bottles are clear, glossy, or moving rapidly on a conveyor belt. Whether you're in the beverage, cosmetics, or pharmaceutical industry, this sensor ensures every unit is reliably identified and counted.

Maintenance engineers appreciate its hygienic housing and rugged stainless steel body, especially in food and pharma environments where regular washdowns are mandatory. It’s easy to set up using the Teach input, saving time during installations or changeovers. The sensor stays stable even when bottle thickness or position varies, reducing the risk of false detections and machine stops.

For engineering students and young technicians, the Leuze PRK53CL1.T3/LT-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is a real-world example of how advanced optical technology solves industrial challenges that traditional sensors cannot. Its high-speed response, smart IO-Link integration, and compact design show what’s possible with modern automation. If your application requires reliable detection of clear objects in a demanding environment, this photoelectric sensor is built to deliver—every time.
