Engineered with precision, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor delivers dependable performance using a retro-reflective sensing principle backed by autocollimation and tracking functionality. With a sensing range of 0 to 3 meters and a response time of 0.33 ms, it offers stable detection even of highly transparent objects, such as plastic bottles, films, and glass surfaces. The 620 nm red LED light source ensures consistent signal strength and accuracy in fast-paced automation setups.
This model is housed in a rugged diecast zinc metal body with a glass lens cover, built to operate reliably in extreme industrial environments. With a compact cubic design (15 mm x 47 mm x 32.5 mm), the sensor fits seamlessly into space-constrained machines. It supports both light switching and dark switching modes through dual PNP transistor outputs, and operates across a 10–30 V DC supply voltage. A high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz enables rapid response, making it ideal for bottling, packaging, and assembly lines where timing is critical. The connector uses a M12, 4-pin A-coded male interface and is built to withstand vibrations and high-pressure cleaning. The sensor is rated for IP67 and IP69K protection and can perform reliably between -40°C to +60°C, making it suitable for both harsh indoor and outdoor applications.
The Leuze PRK18B.TT3/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in automated production environments where precise detection of transparent or reflective objects is critical. Whether you are automating a water bottling line, aligning transparent film in packaging machines, or detecting glass panes on a conveyor, this sensor ensures consistent performance even in tough lighting or high-speed conditions.
For Indian engineers working in factories across industries—from FMCG to pharmaceuticals—the inclusion of features like a Teach button, LED status indicators, and simple PNP wiring simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. It’s especially useful in production areas where constant sensor recalibration is a challenge due to environmental changes. With a 0.33 ms response time and stable retro-reflective performance, the sensor reacts instantly to changes in the environment, maintaining control and efficiency in real time.
Whether you're designing a new automation system or retrofitting existing lines, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor offers the reliability, flexibility, and trust needed for modern manufacturing.
