Leuze PRK3C.T3/P-M8.3 | 50137057

The Leuze PRK3C.T3/P-M8.3 combines precision optics with robust build quality to ensure consistent detection across challenging conditions. Using a red LED light source at 635 nm and based on the reflection principle, it provides dependable object detection over distances up to 3 meters when used with the TK(S) 100x100 reflector. The sensor operates on a 10–30 V DC supply with minimal residual ripple, making it compatible with a wide range of control systems.

Housed in a compact cubic design measuring just 11.4 mm x 34.2 mm x 18.3 mm, the PRK3C.T3/P-M8.3 features a durable PC-ABS plastic enclosure and meets IP67/IP69K protection standards, ensuring resistance to water, dust, and high-pressure cleaning. Its transistor PNP switching output operates in dark switching mode, with a fast response time of 0.33 ms and a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, allowing real-time response to high-speed targets. A 3-pin M8 male connector and a teach button simplify setup and maintenance on-site.

Whether in wet zones or dry automation lines, this model supports long-term stability with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. It also incorporates autocollimation technology for precise and stable beam alignment — even under vibration or reflective interference. The integrated LED status indicator helps engineers troubleshoot and validate operation instantly. For complete documentation, visit the official Leuze product page.

The Leuze PRK3C.T3/P-M8.3 Photoelectric Sensor is especially useful in applications involving highly transparent bottles and films where traditional sensors often fail. In automated bottling lines, it ensures each bottle is accurately detected regardless of whether it’s glass or clear PET. The sensor's autocollimation feature makes this possible even when the surface is curved, moist, or reflective.

In packaging machines, this model plays a crucial role in detecting transparent films and blister packs during high-speed movement. Maintenance engineers can count on the sensor to keep production moving smoothly without false triggers. Its simple integration via M8 connector and user-friendly teach button make installation and setup quick, even for teams with limited automation experience.

With its rugged build, advanced optics, and fast response, the Leuze PRK3C.T3/P-M8.3 Photoelectric Sensor stands out as a trusted choice for engineers looking to automate detection tasks with maximum reliability. If you're exploring reliable Photoelectric Sensors for critical operations, this model delivers the performance and support needed to enhance industrial productivity.
