The Leuze PRK 8/66.42-S12 Photoelectric Sensor features a cubic housing design and operates on the retro-reflective principle, making it ideal for detecting highly transparent materials like bottles, films, and glass panes. With a sensing range of 0 to 2 meters and a focused red LED light source at 660 nm, it ensures reliable object recognition even in demanding environments. Its push-pull switching outputs support both PNP and NPN modes, enabling flexible integration into various control systems. Engineered for durability, the sensor operates with a 10β30 V DC supply voltage, offers a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, and features a rapid response time of 0.5 ms. The robust metal housing with IP67/IP69K protection ensures long-term stability under extreme temperatures ranging from -40Β°C to +60Β°C. Its compact dimensionsβ15 mm x 48 mm x 38 mmβallow for easy installation in tight spaces, while the glass lens cover and multiturn potentiometer provide added precision and longevity. It includes a M12 male connector with 5-pin, A-coded configuration and 90Β° turning connection for easy wiring in industrial panels.
The Leuze PRK 8/66.42-S12 Photoelectric Sensor is specifically designed for accurate detection of highly transparent materials such as PET bottles, glass sheets, and plastic filmsβapplications where traditional sensors often struggle. Its autocollimation and tracking functions enhance detection stability even when the object surface is curved, thin, or shiny, minimizing false triggers. Maintenance engineers in automated bottling plants, film packaging lines, and glass sheet production units trust this sensor for its consistent and reliable operation. The integrated teach input allows for easy adjustment on-site without requiring advanced configuration tools, making it suitable for both new installations and sensor replacements in legacy systems. Whether you are upgrading detection capabilities or maintaining production uptime, the Leuze PRK 8/66.42-S12 Photoelectric Sensor is built to deliver accuracy, flexibility, and long-term performance for your automation needs.
