The Leuze PRK18B.FXT3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor uses a retro-reflective operating principle with advanced autocollimation, enabling precise detection of transparent materials such as clear bottles, films, or glass panes. It offers a sensing range of 0 to 3 meters and emits a red LED beam with a wavelength of 620 nm. Classified under LED group 1, the sensor maintains beam consistency even under challenging ambient conditions. One of the key highlights is its extremely fast 5,000 Hz switching frequency and a low 0.333 ms response time, allowing accurate detection in high-speed conveyor lines or fast pick-and-place robotic systems.
This model operates on a 10β30 V DC power supply and offers dual PNP transistor outputs for both light switching and dark switching functions. The housing is compact (15 mm Γ 47 mm Γ 32.5 mm) and made of robust diecast zinc metal, coupled with a glass lens cover for long-term durability in industrial environments. It features a secure M12 A-coded 4-pin male connector for reliable connectivity and signal stability. The 270Β° potentiometer allows fine-tuning of detection sensitivity based on environmental factors or application needs, while the integrated LED display provides real-time visual diagnostics. With an IP67/IP69K rating, this sensor is protected against dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning, making it suitable for use in food, pharma, packaging, and material handling industries.
The Leuze PRK18B.FXT3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for detecting transparent or semi-transparent targets in industries where speed and precision cannot be compromised. In automated packaging, beverage bottling, or film processing applications, this sensor ensures stable detection even when surfaces are reflective or inconsistently shaped.
Its 5,000 Hz switching frequency and rapid 0.333 ms response make it a preferred choice in high-speed production environments, especially where traditional sensors fail due to delays or noise interference. The autocollimation system prevents false triggering, while the rugged build and IP69K protection guarantee resilience against washdowns and harsh plant conditions. Maintenance teams can easily calibrate the sensor with the built-in potentiometer and verify functionality using the LED indicatorβsaving time during installation or fault diagnosis.
If your automation line demands high-speed, reliable, and transparent object sensing, the Leuze PRK18B.FXT3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is the smart industrial solution. Request a quote today to secure a cutting-edge photoelectric sensor trusted by global manufacturers.
