Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.42 | 50033554

Engineered for precision, the Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.42 Photoelectric Sensor offers outstanding performance in space-constrained and high-speed automation applications. This polarized retro-reflective sensor uses a 660 nm red LED light source with autocollimation optics to ensure highly accurate detection of transparent materials such as glass, PET bottles, and films. The sensor operates on the reflection principle and features both dark switching (PNP) and light switching (NPN) outputs, allowing flexible logic integration in diverse PLC systems. With a sensing distance of up to 3 meters, a rapid 0.5 ms response time, and a high switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, this sensor performs exceptionally well in fast-moving processes like bottling lines and packaging units. It supports Signal IN/OUT and voltage supply functions through a secure M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector. Its compact 15 mm x 50 mm x 33 mm cubic housing—crafted from zinc-coated stainless steel and sealed with a glass lens cover—guarantees protection under harsh conditions. Rated at IP67 / IP69K, the device withstands water jets, dust, and industrial cleaning agents, making it ideal for food & beverage and pharmaceutical environments. The 10–30 V DC supply range ensures compatibility with standard industrial control voltages. The integrated teach input and tracking function make installation and tuning easy, minimizing downtime during commissioning or replacement. Trusted for its robust design and signal clarity, the Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.42 Photoelectric Sensor is a smart choice for demanding automation setups.

The Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.42 Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for detection tasks involving highly transparent bottles, films, and glass panes, especially in industries where reliability is non-negotiable. In bottling lines, the sensor ensures accurate object presence detection even when containers are colorless or curved. Its autocollimation feature keeps the sensor precisely aligned with the reflector, minimizing false signals due to environmental interference. For Indian automation engineers in FMCG, pharma, and chemical manufacturing units, this sensor simplifies tasks that once required manual verification or multiple sensors. The teach input makes configuration intuitive, while the tracking function adapts to dynamic object conditions like label inconsistencies or slight misalignments. Its signal stability is especially valuable in high-speed lines where even a single missed object can halt production. If you're building or upgrading a smart factory setup with industrial-grade sensors, the Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.42 Photoelectric Sensor offers the detection accuracy, connectivity, and resilience you need to maintain consistent throughput and avoid downtime.
