Leuze PRK18B.TT3/P4-M12 | 50126940

Engineered for high-speed industrial automation, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/P4-M12 is a polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor that combines compact design with robust performance. Built in a durable diecast zinc metal housing and featuring a standard M12 male connector, this sensor ensures secure installation and seamless integration in control panels or machinery frames. Its red LED light source with a 620 nm wavelength delivers stable, visible beam alignment and consistent detection results, even in challenging environments with glass, PET bottles, or clear film.

The PRK18B.TT3/P4-M12 offers a sensing range of up to 3 meters and operates on the reliable autocollimation principle, minimizing false signals when detecting highly transparent materials. It supports 10–30 V DC supply voltage and provides dual PNP transistor outputs with both dark switching and light switching modes, allowing flexible integration with modern PLCs and control systems. With a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a response time of just 0.33 ms, this sensor supports fast-paced automation with exceptional accuracy.

Designed for harsh industrial environments, the sensor withstands extreme operating temperatures from -40°C to +60°C and meets high protection ratings of IP67 and IP69K, ensuring resistance to dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns. Its integrated LED status display and Teach button allow for easy setup and real-time diagnostics. Trusted by automation engineers across industries, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/P4-M12 Photoelectric Sensor delivers a balance of rugged design, precise sensing, and installation convenience.

The Leuze PRK18B.TT3/P4-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for detecting highly transparent objects like plastic water bottles, glass sheets, and thin film packaging in bottling plants, food factories, and pharmaceutical lines. Conventional sensors often struggle in such environments, triggering errors due to poor reflectivity or ambient light interference.

This sensor solves that problem through its autocollimation and tracking function, which precisely aligns the light beam to detect even low-contrast targets without the need for constant manual recalibration. For Indian plant engineers, this means fewer misreads, less downtime, and more peace of mind during long production runs. Its quick mounting with an M12 connector and user-friendly Teach function ensures that even junior technicians can set up or troubleshoot the device efficiently.

If your application requires accurate, fast, and stable detection of clear materials, the Leuze PRK18B.TT3/P4-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is a reliable, field-proven choice. This advanced photoelectric sensor improves machine uptime, reduces maintenance burden, and enhances product quality across a variety of industrial automation systems.
