QS18VN6DB: 61663 - Banner Rectangular Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18VN6DB: 61663 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for high-accuracy detection in environments that demand dependable performance and compact form factor. It features a diffuse sensing mode with a maximum detection distance of 450 mm, using an infrared LED beam that excels at detecting opaque and textured surfaces without the need for reflectors. Its integrated potentiometer allows for quick sensitivity adjustment during setup, making it field-friendly for engineers handling diverse target types.

This model is encased in a rectangular ABS housing that combines strength with lightness, allowing for both durability and easy mounting. It carries an IP67 rating and NEMA 6 certification, ensuring that the sensor operates reliably in high-moisture or dust-prone areas, such as packaging zones or washdown stations. Designed for use with NPN discrete output systems, it operates on a standard 10–30 V DC power supply and connects via a 2-meter cable that simplifies installation in confined spaces.

Performance-wise, the QS18VN6DB offers quick response times of just 0.6 ms with a startup delay of 100 ms and a repeatability of 150 µs, delivering consistent accuracy in high-speed production environments. The LED status indicators and acrylic lens further enhance usability and operational transparency. With a working temperature range of -20°C to 70°C and tolerance to 95% relative humidity, this sensor is a versatile performer across industries.
