Leuze PRK18B.TT3/LP-M12 | 50121230

The Leuze PRK18B.TT3/LP-M12 Photoelectric Sensor features a rugged cubic housing with a footprint of 15 mm x 47 mm x 32.5 mm, built to operate efficiently in space-limited industrial applications. It uses a retro-reflective sensing principle with advanced autocollimation and tracking function to ensure highly accurate detection of transparent objects such as bottles, glass panels, and thin films. Equipped with a 620 nm red LED as the light source and a sensing distance of up to 3 meters, this model is ideal for stable and repeatable detection in high-speed automation lines.

What sets this sensor apart is its integrated IO-Link interface, which allows seamless digital communication for real-time diagnostics, configuration, and predictive maintenance. It supports multiple switching modes, including light switching (PNP), dark switching (NPN), and IO-Link control, providing unmatched flexibility. Powered by a 10–30 V DC supply and featuring dual PNP transistor outputs, the device ensures robust signal output at a fast switching frequency of 1,500 Hz with a rapid response time of 0.33 ms. A durable diecast zinc housing, glass lens cover, and M12 4-pin metal connector make it ideal for demanding environments. With protection ratings of IP67 and IP69K, it withstands high-pressure washdowns, dust, and extreme temperatures. The PRK18B.TT3/LP-M12 embodies Leuze's commitment to combining precision sensing with smart factory readiness.

The Leuze PRK18B.TT3/LP-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is expertly engineered to handle challenging applications such as detecting transparent bottles in bottling lines, film alignment in packaging machines, and glass pane positioning in automated assembly systems. Its autocollimation tracking function ensures consistent detection, even when the surface properties or environmental lighting conditions change rapidly.

Indian manufacturing units in pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and automotive sectors can benefit significantly from this model's IO-Link diagnostics and fast switching speed. Maintenance engineers will appreciate the sensor’s user-friendly Teach button and LED indicators, which simplify installation and reduce commissioning time. In facilities where transparency, reflectivity, and precision pose consistent detection challenges, this photoelectric sensor provides the stability and adaptability needed to maintain continuous operations without manual intervention.
