Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.46 | 50032798

The Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.46 Photoelectric Sensor is a high-performance industrial sensor designed by Leuze, a globally trusted brand in optical detection and automation technology. This advanced Photoelectric Sensor provides precise object detection, even for transparent or reflective surfaces, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing and packaging environments where accuracy and reliability are essential.

The PRK 18/24 DL.46 operates on the reflection principle and uses a red LED light source (660 nm) to deliver accurate detection over distances up to 3 meters. It features autocollimation technology and a built-in tracking function that ensures reliable performance when detecting highly transparent bottles, glass panes, and thin films. The sensor supports both PNP and NPN transistor outputs for light and dark switching, allowing flexible integration with industrial PLC systems. With a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz and a rapid response time of 0.5 ms, it performs exceptionally well in high-speed production environments. The robust metal housing made of zinc and the glass lens cover ensure long service life and protection against impact or vibration. Its M12 stainless steel connector with 5 pins (A-coded) offers reliable connectivity, while the IP67/IP69K protection rating guarantees resistance to water, oil, and dust exposure. The Leuze PRK 18/24 DL.46 also features a simple step switch control for easy setup and fine-tuning of sensitivity. Designed to operate efficiently between -25°C and +55°C, this sensor combines optical precision, mechanical durability, and intelligent control to deliver consistent, long-term performance in industrial automation.

The Leuze Photoelectric Sensor PRK 18/24 DL.46 is widely used in applications such as bottle detection in filling lines, transparent film monitoring in packaging machines, and glass inspection in production setups.
