Leuze PRK53CL1.XT3/LG-M8 | 50148165

Built with Leuze’s industry-grade engineering, the PRK53CL1.XT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor uses a collimated red laser light source (650 nm) that ensures sharp detection of transparent materials such as PET bottles and plastic films. Its sensing range extends up to 0.4 meters, and it operates on a stable 10–30 V DC supply with low ripple tolerance, making it suitable for high-speed machine cycles and voltage-sensitive PLC setups. The device incorporates a push-pull transistor switching output that supports both light switching (PNP) and dark switching (NPN) via IO-Link connectivity, enabling smart diagnostics and advanced automation integration.

This photoelectric sensor is housed in a robust AISI 316L stainless steel enclosure with a compact form factor of 14 mm x 35.4 mm x 20.4 mm, offering both mechanical durability and space efficiency. It features a PMMA+ plastic lens with a scratch-resistant indium protective coating, ensuring longevity in environments where cleaning or abrasion is frequent. With an extremely fast response time of 0.17 ms and switching frequency up to 3,000 Hz, it delivers real-time object detection, even on fast-moving conveyors. Designed to meet IP67/IP68/IP69K protection standards, the PRK53CL1.XT3/LG-M8 ensures dust-tight operation and high-pressure washdown resistance—ideal for food-grade and pharmaceutical installations.

Additional highlights include an intuitive Teach button for quick calibration, an LED status display for on-site diagnostics, and a 4-pin M8 male connector that simplifies wiring in control cabinets or sensor arrays. Overall, the Leuze PRK53CL1.XT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor stands out for its rugged build, hygienic design, and industry-leading response time—earning trust across advanced automation industries. For more detailed specifications, refer to the official datasheet on Leuze’s website.

The Leuze PRK53CL1.XT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for detecting objects that are difficult to sense with conventional sensors—especially transparent bottles, shiny films, and curved containers. In high-speed packaging and beverage lines, where label detection or fill-level control must be accurate, this sensor delivers precise, stable outputs with minimal false triggers.

Its autocollimation principle and calibrated Y-axis design make it capable of maintaining detection reliability, even when bottles are rotating, tilted, or moving off-center on the conveyor. The round, focused laser light spot ensures accuracy within its 400 mm sensing range, while the stainless-steel housing resists corrosion and cleaning chemicals in hygiene-critical setups like dairy plants or pharma filling lines.

Engineers working with bottling machines, form-fill-seal units, or robotic pick-and-place systems benefit from its IO-Link integration, allowing remote parameter changes and status monitoring without stopping production. With PRK53CL1.XT3/LG-M8, Leuze delivers a smart, rugged, and fast sensor that solves one of the toughest automation challenges—detecting transparent targets with industrial-grade consistency. If you're looking for a trusted photoelectric sensor that excels in both harsh environments and fine-tuned automation, this model is the ideal solution.
