Leuze PRK18B.T2/4X-M12 | 50117365

Engineered for durability and precision, the PRK18B.T2/4X-M12 Photoelectric Sensor by Leuze features a compact cubic housing measuring just 15 mm × 47 mm × 32.5 mm, ideal for space-constrained installations. This model uses the reflection principle with autocollimation to achieve a reliable sensing distance of up to 4.8 meters, even for transparent materials like PET bottles, glass sheets, or clear films. A highly visible red LED light source at 620 nm ensures easy alignment and stable operation in both natural and artificial lighting.

Its supply voltage range of 10–30 V DC and PNP transistor output configured for light switching make it compatible with standard industrial control systems. With a response time of just 0.333 ms and switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, it is well-suited for high-speed production lines. The robust diecast zinc metal housing and glass lens cover offer excellent resistance against impact, dust, moisture, and chemicals—further protected by its dual rating of IP67 and IP69K. Whether it’s exposed to washdowns, oil mist, or heavy mechanical load, the sensor delivers consistent and uninterrupted detection.

For field engineers, the M12 4-pin A-coded male connector simplifies wiring, and the built-in multiturn potentiometer allows precise signal tuning based on the material’s transparency. With an operational range of -40°C to +60°C, the Leuze PRK18B.T2/4X-M12 Photoelectric Sensor performs reliably in extreme Indian factory conditions. Trusted globally by OEMs and automation professionals, this sensor balances cutting-edge optics with practical ease of use.

The Leuze PRK18B.T2/4X-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is specifically designed to solve a critical detection problem in industrial automation—sensing transparent or semi-transparent objects without error. In Indian industries such as bottled water plants, food packaging units, and pharmaceutical lines, false detection caused by shiny or clear materials can result in wasted product, downtime, or damaged machinery.

This sensor eliminates such risks through its autocollimation feature, which aligns the emitter and receiver precisely to detect low-contrast targets like clear plastic bottles or shrink-wrapped items. Maintenance engineers often face fluctuating lighting and dusty environments, but with its IP69K rating and glass lens protection, the sensor continues to operate flawlessly even in washdown zones. The multiturn potentiometer allows quick adjustment without needing software, making field calibration simple and reliable.

If your facility needs consistent, long-range transparent object detection, the Leuze PRK18B.T2/4X-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is a powerful choice. It delivers high-speed detection, easy installation, and unmatched durability—making it a preferred solution among Indian automation professionals and OEM machine builders seeking dependable photoelectric sensor performance.
