Description
Overview
The LUEZE PCELL – IPRK18/AL.46 is a precision reflection sensor designed for detecting transparent materials such as glass, foils, and plastic bottles. With a compact yet durable cubic design, it provides fast, reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Detection and Performance
Operating on the reflection principle, this model ensures accurate detection of highly transparent objects where conventional sensors often fail. Its autocollimation design allows precise signal stability, reducing false triggers caused by glare or refraction. The operating range extends from 0 to 2.4 meters, with a limit of 3 meters, ensuring flexibility across applications.
Speed and Responsiveness
With a switching frequency of 1000 Hz and a response time of 0.5 ms, the IPRK18/AL.46 delivers rapid, repeatable detection. This makes it ideal for high-speed production lines where accuracy and timing are critical. The tracking function maintains consistent performance even when environmental conditions shift or surfaces vary in reflectivity.
Connectivity and Integration
Equipped with a 5-pin M12 connector, this sensor connects easily within automation networks. Its AS-Interface IO supports seamless communication and efficient system integration. The step switch control simplifies configuration, making setup intuitive even for complex installations.
Protection and Reliability
Engineered with IP67 and IP69K protection, the sensor withstands high-pressure washdowns and dust exposure. It’s short-circuit and polarity-reversal protected, ensuring long operational life and system safety. The warning output enhances diagnostic capabilities by alerting users of signal quality drops or contamination on optical surfaces.
Applications
This sensor excels in industries such as beverage production, packaging, and glass manufacturing, where detecting clear materials is essential. Its cubic housing and through-hole mounting offer flexible installation in compact setups.
Conclusion
The IPRK18/AL.46 combines speed, precision, and durability to handle complex transparent-object detection with ease. Its advanced reflection design, protective housing, and intelligent tracking capabilities make it a trusted choice for automation systems that demand both reliability and accuracy.
