Designed with German precision, the PRK55CL1.T3/LG-M8 is a compact photoelectric sensor that uses a laser red light source with a wavelength of 650 nm for the reliable detection of transparent films and bottles. Leveraging autocollimation optics and a collimated beam path, it ensures accurate alignment and object detection within a sensing range of 0 to 0.4 meters. This makes it ideal for applications where conventional sensors may struggle with reflectivity or background noise.
Housed in a corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel body with dimensions of 14 mm Γ 35.4 mm Γ 25 mm, the Leuze PRK55CL1.T3/LG-M8 is built to withstand wash-down processes and harsh environmental conditions. It operates on a supply voltage range of 10β30 V DC and supports IO-Link, along with both PNP and NPN push-pull outputs for flexible integration with PLCs. The fast switching frequency of 3,000 Hz and rapid response time of 0.17 ms allow it to perform flawlessly on high-speed conveyor systems.
This model includes a teach button for simplified commissioning, a highly visible LED status display for diagnostics, and a durable PMMA+ scratch-resistant lens with an Indium protective coating. The IP67/IP68/IP69K protection rating certifies its readiness for food-grade and hygienic zones. Trusted by engineers across bottling plants, food processing lines, and pharma cleanrooms, the Leuze PRK55CL1.T3/LG-M8 offers unmatched reliability, performance, and build quality in industrial automation.
The Leuze PRK55CL1.T3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in applications where other sensors fail to detect transparent or reflective surfacesβespecially in high-speed bottling plants and automated filling machines. Its autocollimation reflection principle ensures precision detection even with curved plastic bottles and glossy PET packaging, solving challenges that standard diffuse or retro-reflective sensors cannot handle.
Maintenance engineers across India trust the PRK55CL1.T3/LG-M8 for its consistent accuracy, compact installation footprint, and durability during frequent washdowns. In the pharmaceutical and FMCG sectors, its IP69K protection and stainless steel housing prevent sensor degradation caused by steam, chemicals, or daily water jets. Engineers also benefit from faster maintenance due to its intuitive LED diagnostics and IO-Link integration, enabling real-time monitoring and error reporting.
Whether you're upgrading a legacy detection system or installing a new packaging line, the Leuze PRK55CL1.T3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor offers a reliable solution tailored for transparent object detection with minimal setup. If you are searching for a photoelectric sensor that combines intelligent sensing, robust construction, and long-term reliabilityβthis is the right model to consider.
