Leuze PRK53C.T3/16-M8 | 50148160

Engineered for precision, the Leuze PRK53C.T3/16-M8 utilizes the autocollimation reflection principle to detect highly transparent objects such as PET bottles or film packaging with a sensing distance of up to 3 meters when paired with a TK(S) 100x100 reflector. Its compact cubic housing, measuring 14 mm × 35.4 mm × 20.4 mm, is made of premium AISI 316L stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance ideal for hygiene-sensitive areas. The red LED light source with a wavelength of 645 nm ensures stable detection in environments with varying backgrounds and light conditions.

This photoelectric sensor supports dual push-pull transistor outputs that can be configured as either light switching (PNP) or dark switching (NPN), providing flexibility in PLC integration. It operates efficiently on a 10–30 V DC supply and delivers rapid feedback with a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a response time of just 0.33 ms. Its M8 4-pin male connector simplifies wiring and is backed by a high IP67/IP68/IP69K protection rating, ensuring long-term reliability even in washdown zones, food-grade production, or dusty environments. A teach button and intuitive LED display allow for quick commissioning and real-time status monitoring on the shop floor. The lens is protected with a scratch-resistant PMMA+ coating, contributing to long-term clarity and performance stability.

The Leuze PRK53C.T3/16-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for one of the toughest sensing tasks in automation: detecting transparent bottles, plastic films, and curved containers on fast-moving conveyor belts. It’s especially effective in bottling plants, beverage filling stations, and packaging machines where traditional sensors struggle due to light interference or false readings.

Indian maintenance engineers in FMCG, pharma, or food processing industries prefer this model because it works reliably in both cleanroom and dusty environments. The stainless steel body withstands harsh cleaning processes, while the autocollimation optics reduce alignment errors during machine vibration or product flow changes. For new installations or retrofits, the PRK53C.T3/16-M8 saves setup time with tool-free adjustment via the teach button, and its high-frequency output ensures real-time detection without signal delays—making it a favorite for time-critical systems.

Whether you're an engineering student learning sensor technology or a senior maintenance expert solving production downtime, this Leuze photoelectric sensor offers an ideal balance of performance, build quality, and simplicity.
