The PRK53CL1.T3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor features a cubic stainless steel housing with dimensions of 14 mm x 35.4 mm x 20.4 mm, ensuring durability and space-saving installation in compact machinery. It uses a 650 nm red laser light source and autocollimation for precise detection of highly transparent targets like PET bottles and films. With a sensing distance of 0 to 0.4 meters and a collimated beam path, it delivers reliable detection in applications where conventional sensors fail.
Built for extreme environments, this sensor is IP67, IP68, and IP69K rated, offering full protection against dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns. The housing is made from AISI 316L stainless steel (DIN X2CrNiMo17132), and the lens cover uses PMMA+ with a scratch-resistant indium coating for longevity. The device supports both IO-Link communication and traditional light/dark switching logic, using dual transistor push-pull outputs. It operates on a 10β30 V DC power supply and delivers lightning-fast response times of just 0.17 ms with a 3,000 Hz switching frequency.
Its intelligent design includes a 4-pin M8 connector, an intuitive teach button for easy setup, and a clear LED display for visual feedback. With a wide operational temperature range of -40 to +70Β°C, the Leuze PRK53CL1.T3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor stands out as a trusted solution in hygienic production, packaging lines, and precision sorting systems. You can learn more on the Leuze official product page.
The Leuze PRK53CL1.T3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in high-speed production lines where accurate detection of transparent materials is essential. Its autocollimation function and red laser light ensure stable object detection even with curved or shiny bottle surfaces, where conventional sensors often give false signals.
For maintenance engineers managing bottling or packaging lines, this sensor simplifies setup with its teach-in feature and quick-connect M8 interface. The IP69K rating ensures that cleaning procedures like steam or high-pressure water jets wonβt affect performance. Because of its rapid 0.17 ms response time and high-frequency switching, it is particularly valuable in applications that require precise timing, such as label detection, filling control, or reject sorting.
Engineering students and junior technicians can quickly understand the working of the PRK53CL1.T3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor thanks to its straightforward LED diagnostics and clear labeling. Whether in pharmaceutical cleanrooms or beverage plants, this photoelectric sensor delivers unmatched reliability, making it a go-to component for professionals seeking automation precision and longevity.
