Leuze PRK 96M/P-1838-41 | 50080760

The Leuze PRK 96M/P-1838-41 Photoelectric Sensor is a powerful retro-reflective solution designed for difficult detection scenarios. With a sensing distance of 0 to 7 meters, it provides long-range object recognition using a red LED light source, ensuring stability even with stretch-wrapped or glossy surfaces. Built with a durable metal housing and a glass lens cover, this sensor is protected by an IP67 rating, making it resistant to dust, moisture, and tough environmental conditions. Electrically, the sensor supports a supply voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and includes dual transistor PNP outputs for light and dark switching modes. The switching frequency of 1,000 Hz allows it to respond quickly in dynamic automation environments. Installation is simplified with a standard M12 4-pin A-coded connector, while the built-in multiturn potentiometer enables easy fine-tuning during commissioning. The large housing dimensions—30 mm x 90 mm x 70 mm—provide increased stability in mounting, and its wide operational temperature range of -40°C to +55°C ensures consistent performance in both indoor and semi-outdoor factory setups. The Leuze PRK 96M/P-1838-41 Photoelectric Sensor is trusted by automation professionals for its accuracy, speed, and robust industrial build quality.

The Leuze PRK 96M/P-1838-41 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built to detect stretch-wrapped objects and highly transparent materials in packaging, bottling, and logistics systems. In conventional setups, plastic films, PET bottles, and shrink-wrapped cartons often go undetected due to low reflectivity. This sensor solves that problem with enhanced reflection handling and high-speed response. Industrial engineers working with automated conveyors or pallet wrapping stations benefit from the sensor’s ability to detect through complex layers of transparent plastic. Whether it’s a stretch-wrapped pallet moving along a loading belt or a glass item wrapped for shipping, the sensor triggers output reliably with minimal false signals. This means fewer errors, less downtime, and more consistent packaging quality. In high-speed environments where visual detection is often unreliable, the Leuze PRK 96M/P-1838-41 Photoelectric Sensor helps ensure complete automation without compromise, making it an ideal fit for modern industrial control systems.
