Leuze PRK18B.1/4P-M12 | 50117359

Engineered with an autocollimation design, the Leuze PRK18B.1/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor delivers high-precision detection even in applications involving curved, translucent, or reflective objects. This model operates using the reflection principle and is equipped with a 620 nm red LED light source to achieve clear and consistent object recognition. The sensor supports both light switching and dark switching through its dual transistor PNP outputs, offering exceptional flexibility in control system integration.

Its compact 15 mm × 47 mm × 32.5 mm cubic housing is made from diecast zinc for maximum durability, while the glass lens cover protects optical components in rugged conditions. With a detection range of 0 to 6 meters and a response time of just 1 ms, this sensor supports rapid cycle operations in high-speed automation environments. A 270° potentiometer allows fine-tuning of sensitivity settings, and the LED status display offers instant feedback for easy commissioning and maintenance.

The sensor is IP67/IP69K rated, making it ideal for wet or dusty environments, and supports 10–30 V DC input with a secure 4-pin A-coded M12 male connector. These robust electrical and environmental specifications make the Leuze PRK18B.1/4P-M12 a reliable choice for continuous operation in beverage, packaging, and material handling industries. For engineers seeking high-performance transparent object detection, this photoelectric sensor delivers accuracy, reliability, and a trusted Leuze build.

The Leuze PRK18B.1/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for detecting bottle containers in motion — especially transparent, curved, or reflective surfaces often found in food and beverage production lines. Its autocollimation design enables it to differentiate between the target and background, even in tight spaces or near conveyors with metallic surroundings.

This model is particularly well-suited for labeling machines, filling stations, and automated inspection units where plastic or glass bottles must be identified precisely to avoid misalignment or downtime. The sensor consistently detects objects without interference from light reflections or dust, helping maintenance engineers achieve zero-defect operations in fast-paced environments.

Whether you're integrating a new bottling line or replacing older sensors, the Leuze PRK18B.1/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is a trusted and efficient solution that enhances both operational reliability and product quality. Its intelligent signal processing and industrial-grade housing ensure it performs consistently in India's demanding factory conditions.
