Which group Leuze PRK 95/4 belongs to and how it is built
Sensors is a broad subcategory of hardware components responsible for collecting data from a robot's environment, mechanisms, and electronic systems. It encompasses distance, position, pressure, temperature, voltage, current, contact, and numerous other sensor types. This subcategory applies when a component is sensory in nature but does not belong to a more specific group such as LiDAR or Vision Components.
Ultrasonic Sensor is a distance-sensing device that operates by emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. In robotics, it is widely used for basic obstacle detection, distance measurement, short-range navigation, and safety assistance. Ultrasonic sensors are common in mobile, educational, and industrial robots, particularly where low-cost and reliable object detection is required.
The Leuze PRK 95/4 is a polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with background suppression and up to 8 m range (with reflector). Designed for object detection in industrial environments.
Interfaces: IO-Link, PNP/NPN. Supply 10–30 V DC. IP 65/67. Temperature -25..55°C. Compact miniature housing. CE and UL certified.
