The Leuze RK18B.T2/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is engineered for reliable performance using the reflection principle with autocollimation, which allows it to detect highly transparent objects like clear bottles, films, and glass panes without being misled by ambient reflections. It emits a 620 nm red LED beam and achieves a detection range of 0 to 4 meters, providing accurate object recognition over long distances. The sensor features a fast 0.333 ms response time and operates at a high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, ensuring precision in high-speed applications such as packaging, bottling, and conveyor-based automation systems.
Powered by a 10β30 V DC supply, this sensor delivers its output through dual PNP transistor switches supporting both light switching and dark switching principles. Its rugged diecast zinc housing and glass lens cover offer superior resistance against impact, vibration, and harsh industrial conditions. The metal-bodied M12 connector is A-coded with 4 pins, ensuring stable electrical connection in control cabinets or field setups. With a compact form factor of 15 mm Γ 47 mm Γ 32.5 mm, the sensor is ideal for tight mounting spaces, and its multiturn potentiometer enables fine-tuned sensitivity control. The IP67/IP69K protection rating makes it suitable for washdown zones and outdoor environments exposed to water, dust, or high-pressure cleaning.
The Leuze RK18B.T2/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor is an excellent choice for applications that involve detecting transparent or reflective objects on fast-moving production lines. In sectors like beverages, pharmaceuticals, and packaging, this sensor helps prevent detection failures and product jams by accurately identifying the presence or absence of even the clearest materials.
For Indian maintenance engineers working in high-humidity or dusty environments, the sensor's IP69K rating and multiturn potentiometer offer both durability and fine-grain control. The sensor's compatibility with standard PNP outputs ensures seamless integration with PLCs, and the LED status indicators allow quick diagnostics during shift operations. With minimal recalibration needed, it supports continuous uptime and reduces the cost of maintenance over time.
If your automation process demands fast, accurate, and long-range transparent object detection, the Leuze RK18B.T2/2N-M12 Photoelectric Sensor offers the performance and durability trusted by engineers worldwide.
