The Leuze PRK55C.TT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor features a robust autocollimation retro-reflective design for reliable detection of transparent objects such as plastic films and bottles. It operates on the reflection principle with a red LED light source at 645 nm wavelength, offering a stable sensing range of 0 to 3 meters when used with the TK(S) 100x100 reflector. Housed in a compact cubic body measuring 14 mm x 35.4 mm x 25 mm, the sensor’s AISI 316L stainless steel housing ensures excellent corrosion resistance in harsh, washdown environments. The lens cover is made from durable PMMA+ material and treated with a scratch-resistant indium coating for extended life.
This photoelectric sensor supports IO-Link communication and includes push-pull transistor outputs compatible with both PNP (light switching) and NPN (dark switching) logic. With a fast response time of 0.33 ms and a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, it excels in high-speed automation tasks. The sensor operates within a wide supply voltage range of 10–30 V DC and features a M8 4-pin male connector for secure integration. Its high protection ratings—IP67, IP68, and IP69K—make it suitable for environments with dust, water, or steam exposure. Onboard features like the LED status display and teach button further enhance user convenience during installation and maintenance.
The Leuze PRK55C.TT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in automated packaging, bottling, and pharmaceutical lines where transparent materials are difficult to detect. Unlike conventional sensors that struggle with light diffusion or surface glare, this model uses autocollimation technology to detect even the thinnest films and clear containers with precision.
For junior and senior maintenance engineers in Indian industries—especially in sectors like FMCG, dairy, food & beverage—this sensor simplifies production by eliminating false triggers and reducing manual intervention. With fast response times and easy teach-in functionality, engineers can deploy and recalibrate the sensor in minutes without needing external tools or complex configuration.
Whether you're designing new automation or upgrading legacy systems, the Leuze PRK55C.TT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor ensures seamless detection of non-diffusive transparent materials, helping you reduce downtime, improve accuracy, and increase throughput.
