Leuze PRK 96M/R-1858-25 | 50029881

The Leuze PRK 96M/R-1858-25 Photoelectric Sensor features a rugged cubic metal housing with IP67 protection, ensuring long-lasting performance in challenging environments like packaging, logistics, and bottling lines. Designed on the retro-reflective sensing principle, it utilizes a red LED light source to detect transparent targets such as glass panes and plastic films up to a range of 0 to 7 meters—a significant distance for applications requiring long sensing reach. What makes this sensor stand out is its wide voltage input range of 20 to 230 V AC/DC, offering seamless compatibility across modern and legacy electrical systems. Its relay output with both NC and NO contacts allows for versatile integration with control panels and safety circuits. With a modest switching frequency of 20 Hz, this sensor is ideal for medium-speed detection processes that prioritize stability and durability over ultra-fast switching. Measuring 30 mm x 90 mm x 70 mm, the sensor is compact yet durable, constructed with a zinc alloy metal housing and protected by a glass lens cover. The multiturn potentiometer enables fine adjustment of sensitivity during commissioning, and a built-in LED display simplifies diagnostics during routine maintenance. Whether operating in ambient temperatures down to -40°C or near +55°C, the Leuze PRK 96M/R-1858-25 Photoelectric Sensor is trusted by engineers for its robustness, wide voltage support, and ability to handle difficult-to-detect targets in real-time production environments.

The Leuze PRK 96M/R-1858-25 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for detecting highly transparent bottles, stretch-wrapped cartons, and thin plastic films, which are common in bottling plants, food packaging units, and logistics automation lines. Where standard sensors often fail to register clear or reflective surfaces, this model offers highly dependable detection with minimal false triggering. Its long sensing range and stable relay output make it ideal for situations like pallet wrapping stations, shrink-wrap inspection, and detecting empty PET bottles on conveyor lines. Even when the object’s surface is irregular or shiny, the sensor maintains consistent output, preventing miscounts and downtime. For engineers and maintenance teams, the ability to work across a wide voltage range and adjust sensitivity with the multiturn potentiometer reduces setup time and increases operational reliability. If you're implementing automation systems where reliable detection of transparent materials is non-negotiable, the Leuze PRK 96M/R-1858-25 Photoelectric Sensor is a trusted, industrial-grade solution tailored to meet your demands.
