Leuze PRK18B.T3/2N-M12 | 50117366

Built on Leuze’s trusted technology, the PRK18B.T3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor features a rugged cubic design with dimensions of 15 mm × 47 mm × 32.5 mm, making it suitable for compact installations. It uses a reflection principle combined with an autocollimation system to accurately detect even highly transparent bottles, films, and glass panes. The sensor emits a visible red LED beam at 620 nm wavelength, ensuring precise beam alignment during setup and reliable detection in varying lighting conditions.

This model operates on a wide supply voltage of 10–30 V DC and is equipped with dual PNP transistor switching outputs—one for light switching and the other for dark switching. It delivers a rapid response time of 0.333 ms and a high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, making it ideal for fast-moving production lines. The robust diecast zinc housing and glass lens cover ensure long-term performance in dusty, wet, or high-pressure washdown environments. Its IP67/IP69K protection rating offers superior durability in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications where hygiene and reliability are critical.

The sensor is fitted with an M12 male 4-pin A-coded connector for easy installation and secure signal transmission. Engineers can fine-tune the detection using the onboard Teach button, enabling precise calibration for various material types and distances. With an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +60 °C, this sensor performs reliably across extreme climates. Industrial buyers trust the Leuze PRK18B.T3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor for its combination of accuracy, speed, and durability—ensuring peace of mind in demanding automation setups.

The Leuze PRK18B.T3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for one of the most difficult detection tasks in factory automation—identifying transparent or glossy objects on fast production lines. It is widely used in bottling plants, glass manufacturing, and packaging lines where traditional sensors struggle with clear or reflective surfaces.

In an Indian industrial setting, where variations in ambient temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations are common, this sensor offers a stable and rugged solution. The autocollimation technology ensures that even thin transparent films are reliably detected without false triggers, while the metal housing and sealed glass lens stand up to dusty shop floors and high-pressure cleaning. Maintenance engineers benefit from easy plug-and-play M12 connectivity and the intuitive Teach button for on-site calibration.

If you're planning to upgrade your automation line for clear object detection, the Leuze PRK18B.T3/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor delivers precision, speed, and ruggedness. Ask IndMALL for a quote today and get reliable industrial performance with this trusted photoelectric sensor from Leuze.
