The Leuze PRK18B.T3/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor uses a reflection principle with integrated autocollimation optics to provide consistent and accurate detection of highly transparent materials such as bottles, films, and glass sheets. It offers a sensing range of 0 to 4 meters with fast response capabilities and emits a visible red LED beam with a wavelength of 620 nm. Its switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and quick 0.333 ms response time make it a strong fit for fast-paced industrial applications requiring real-time detection feedback.
The sensor operates within a voltage range of 10β30 V DC and features dual PNP transistor outputs supporting both light switching and dark switching functionalities. Its compact cubic design (15 mm Γ 47 mm Γ 32.5 mm) allows easy installation in tight machine enclosures. With a rugged diecast zinc housing, glass lens cover, and a reliable M12 A-coded 4-pin male connector, the sensor ensures electrical and mechanical integrity in tough conditions. The onboard 270Β° potentiometer lets engineers precisely adjust sensitivity, while the LED display offers instant visual diagnostics.
Built to withstand extreme environments, this model supports an operating temperature of -40 to +60 Β°C and a storage temperature range up to -70 Β°C. Its IP-rated enclosure (IP67/IP69K) protects against dust, moisture, and high-pressure washdowns. Trusted by automation engineers globally, the PRK18B.T3/4P-M12 is ideal for industries like food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and flexible packaging where reliability and transparency detection go hand in hand.
The Leuze PRK18B.T3/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is designed to solve one of the toughest challenges in factory automationβaccurately detecting transparent or shiny objects on high-speed lines. Whether used in bottling plants, carton fill lines, or transparent film handling systems, it ensures detection precision even under changing ambient conditions.
Its robust metal body, high-frequency switching, and adjustable sensitivity make it a dependable choice for Indian manufacturing environments where sensors are exposed to dust, temperature variations, and washdown cycles. Maintenance teams will benefit from the intuitive 270Β° potentiometer for quick calibration and the LED display for troubleshooting during operation.
