Leuze PRK3C.T3/6T-M8 | 50137061

Built with cutting-edge optical technology, the Leuze PRK3C.T3/6T-M8 Photoelectric Sensor operates on the reflection principle and offers a sensing distance of up to 3 meters when used with the TK(S) 100x100 reflector. Its red LED light source (635 nm) delivers highly visible and stable beam performance, even in dusty or low-light areas. The sensor delivers rapid and accurate switching with a response time of just 0.33 ms and a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, making it ideal for detecting fast-moving, small, or transparent objects on production lines.

The compact cubic housing (11.4 mm x 34.2 mm x 18.3 mm) is made of rugged PC-ABS plastic, ensuring durability without adding unnecessary weight. Its IP67/IP69K protection rating enables installation in washdown zones, beverage lines, and harsh production environments. The sensor supports Transistor, Push-pull outputs with both light switching (PNP) and dark switching (NPN) configurations, offering flexibility for a wide range of industrial control systems. The 4-pin M8 male connector simplifies installation and integration, while the onboard teach button makes setup intuitive for operators without requiring complex programming.

With a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, integrated autocollimation for precise detection, and a LED status display for easy monitoring, this model embodies Leuze’s focus on innovation and reliability. Whether you're optimizing a high-speed filling line or upgrading to smart sensor networks, the Leuze PRK3C.T3/6T-M8 Photoelectric Sensor offers long-term value and consistent detection performance.
