Leuze PRK55CL1.TT3/LG-M8 | 50148199

The Leuze PRK55CL1.TT3/LG-M8 uses a high-precision autocollimation reflection principle with a laser red light source at 650 nm wavelength to accurately detect highly transparent bottles and thin plastic films. With a compact cubic stainless steel housing measuring just 14 mm × 35.4 mm × 25 mm, this sensor is optimized for confined installation spaces in fast-moving industrial setups. Its tight operating range of 0 to 0.4 meters and collimated beam path ensure pinpoint detection accuracy without background interference. Engineered with a robust AISI 316L stainless steel body, the PRK55CL1.TT3/LG-M8 features an advanced scratch-resistant PMMA+ lens and is rated for IP67, IP68, and IP69K protection, making it ideal for hygienic wash-down applications in the food, pharma, and beverage industries. The dual push-pull transistor outputs support both light switching (PNP) and dark switching (NPN) modes, giving flexibility in PLC configurations. With an industry-leading switching frequency of 3,000 Hz and a lightning-fast response time of 0.17 ms, it ensures no lag in detection—even at high conveyor speeds. The sensor also comes equipped with an intuitive LED display and teach button for quick commissioning and configuration. Connectivity is handled through a 4-pin M8 male connector, compatible with most modern industrial controllers. With a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, and built-in IO-Link support, this sensor integrates seamlessly into Industry 4.0 smart systems. Every technical element of the Leuze PRK55CL1.TT3/LG-M8 is crafted for accuracy, durability, and reliability in automation.

The Leuze PRK55CL1.TT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor is the preferred choice for Indian manufacturers dealing with difficult-to-detect materials like transparent PET bottles, shrink-wrapped trays, and glossy films. Its autocollimation optics and laser beam offer unmatched precision, especially in bottling plants, pharma packaging lines, and FMCG conveyor systems where false triggering can lead to machine downtime or quality rejections.

Maintenance engineers trust this sensor for its plug-and-play design, fast response, and ability to work in both dusty and hygienic zones. The built-in teach button allows quick recalibration when product packaging changes—no PC or software required. And thanks to the laser-based detection with collimated beam, it avoids reflection issues caused by stainless steel machinery or glossy backgrounds, ensuring zero-miss detection on high-speed lines.

Whether you're upgrading legacy sensors or setting up a new automation cell, the PRK55CL1.TT3/LG-M8 Photoelectric Sensor offers reliability, ruggedness, and smart IO-Link capabilities in one compact unit. For demanding applications requiring accuracy and hygienic compliance, this model from Leuze stands out as a technically sound and field-proven choice.
