Built with German engineering excellence, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/6G-M12 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor featuring a compact cubic design and a durable diecast zinc metal housing. Its sensing capability ranges from 0 to 3 meters and it operates on the advanced autocollimation principle, which ensures highly reliable detection of transparent targets like glass panes or plastic bottles. This model emits red LED light at a wavelength of 620 nm, enabling fast setup and stable object recognition in environments where standard sensors may struggle.
The sensor supports a wide supply voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and provides dual push-pull transistor outputs that support both light switching (PNP) and dark switching (NPN) modes. It delivers a high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and an ultra-fast response time of 0.33 ms, making it suitable for rapid detection on fast conveyor systems. With an operating temperature tolerance from -40Β°C to +60Β°C and a robust ingress protection rating of IP67/IP69K, the PRK18B.TT3/6G-M12 is designed to withstand moisture, dust, washdowns, and harsh industrial conditions.
Engineers also benefit from its plug-and-play M12 connector, intuitive LED status indicators, and a built-in Teach button that simplifies sensor alignment during commissioning. With a form factor of just 15 mm x 47 mm x 32.5 mm, it fits seamlessly into control cabinets and sensor mounts. Trusted by industrial OEMs and plant maintenance teams alike, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/6G-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is a reliable solution for precision detection in mission-critical applications.
The Leuze PRK18B.TT3/6G-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for detecting transparent objects such as PET bottles, glass sheets, and plastic films β a common challenge in packaging and pharmaceutical lines. Where conventional sensors fail due to light diffraction or poor reflection, this modelβs autocollimation tracking function ensures that even the thinnest layers or low-reflectivity surfaces are detected with consistency.
Many Indian maintenance engineers face issues with false triggers or frequent sensor realignment in high-speed filling lines. This Leuze sensor solves that problem by maintaining alignment accuracy over time, thanks to its optical tracking capability. Whether you're automating a bottle inspection line or integrating sensors into a carton sealing station, the PRK18B.TT3/6G-M12 simplifies operations with its reliable detection and plug-and-play compatibility.
If you're searching for a trusted, high-performance photoelectric sensor for transparent object detection, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/6G-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is the industry-proven choice. It combines durability, speed, and sensing intelligence, helping engineers reduce downtime and boost detection reliability in demanding factory environments.
