Built to meet the demands of modern industrial automation, the Leuze PRK53C.T3/6T-M8 operates on the reflection principle and utilizes a red LED light source at 645 nm wavelength to deliver accurate object detection with minimal interference. With a sensing range of 0 to 3 meters when paired with the TK(S) 100x100 reflector, this photoelectric sensor ensures stable detection of even highly transparent materials such as plastic films and PET bottles. Its switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and ultra-fast response time of 0.33 ms allow it to handle rapid motion processes without missing a beat.
Engineered for harsh environments, the Leuze PRK53C.T3/6T-M8 Photoelectric Sensor features a robust stainless steel housing (AISI 316L) with IP67/IP68/IP69K protection, making it ideal for washdown zones and hygienic applications. Its compact cubic design measures just 14 mm x 35.4 mm x 20.4 mm, ensuring easy installation in space-constrained systems. The sensor is powered by a 10–30 V DC supply, connects via a standard 4-pin M8 male connector, and features a user-friendly Teach button for intuitive configuration on the shop floor.
Engineers appreciate the simplicity of integration through transistor push-pull outputs supporting both PNP light switching and NPN dark switching logic. The scratch-resistant PMMA+ lens cover with an Indium coating adds an extra layer of durability in high-use environments. With LED indicators for live status feedback, the Leuze PRK53C.T3/6T-M8 offers everything maintenance and automation teams need for consistent, reliable operation. View official Leuze product page.
The Leuze PRK53C.T3/6T-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is the go-to choice for automation engineers needing reliable detection of transparent bottles, film packaging, and reflective surfaces on high-speed conveyor systems. Thanks to its autocollimation design and precision optics, it detects objects even when placed at odd angles or when the background is highly reflective—eliminating false triggers and downtime.
In bottling lines, it accurately detects glass or PET containers as they pass through filling, capping, or labeling stations, even when moisture or light reflections are present. The HYGIENE-ready housing makes it perfect for food, pharma, and cleanroom applications, where routine washdowns and strict regulations are mandatory. Its compact size allows placement near mechanical parts without risk of collision or misalignment.
By combining speed, hygiene compatibility, and stable detection performance, the Leuze PRK53C.T3/6T-M8 Photoelectric Sensor simplifies integration in FMCG, beverage, and packaging sectors. For Indian maintenance teams dealing with daily wear, variable lighting, or fluctuating supply voltages, this photoelectric sensor stands out as a reliable and intelligent automation solution.
