The Leuze RK18B.1/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor utilizes a retro-reflective sensing principle with autocollimation optics, delivering precise detection when used with glass triple reflectors or reflective tape. Designed for transparent object detection, this model offers a sensing range of 0 to 6 meters and a long operating range limit of up to 7.2 meters. Its 620 nm red LED beam ensures consistent alignment and signal stability, even in dusty or humid environments. With a response time of 1 ms and a switching frequency of 500 Hz, the sensor reliably handles moderate-speed automation lines with high positional accuracy.
Powered by a 10–30 V DC supply, the RK18B.1/2N-M12 offers both light switching and dark switching modes via dual PNP transistor outputs. Its durable construction includes a diecast zinc metal housing and a glass lens cover, enclosed in a compact 15 mm × 47 mm × 32.5 mm cubic design. A metal M12 A-coded, 4-pin male connector ensures stable connections even in high-vibration environments. The sensor features a 270° potentiometer for adjustable sensitivity, along with an LED display for real-time visual diagnostics. Rated IP67/IP69K, this sensor is resistant to water, chemicals, and high-pressure washdowns, making it suitable for harsh industrial zones such as bottling plants, food packaging units, or pharmaceuticals.
The Leuze RK18B.1/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for automated systems where reliable detection with reflectors or reflective tape is required. Whether you're using glass triple reflectors in a beverage bottling line or reflective strips in material handling applications, this sensor delivers stable, repeatable performance without frequent recalibration.
In Indian industries where environmental conditions fluctuate, this model’s rugged build and IP69K rating ensure uninterrupted operation. Maintenance engineers can quickly fine-tune sensitivity using the 270° potentiometer, reducing the time needed for changeovers. Its PNP output configuration integrates easily with commonly used PLC systems on shop floors across sectors like FMCG, pharma, and automotive.
If your factory floor demands precise, reflective object detection in harsh or dynamic environments, the Leuze RK18B.1/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is the smart choice. Contact us today to get the best quote on this advanced photoelectric sensor designed for industrial dependability.
