QS18EN6XLPC: 97637 - Banner PNP Polarized Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18VP6FP: 66224 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for seamless integration with plastic fiber optic assemblies. Although its maximum sensing distance and beam wavelength depend on the fiber optic cable used, its internal electronics are tuned to deliver high-speed, reliable performance across various configurations. This model supports PNP discrete output and operates on a standard 10–30 V DC power supply, offering broad compatibility with PLCs and control systems used in industrial automation.

Housed in a compact ABS rectangular body with an 18 mm barrel mount, the sensor is both lightweight and rugged. The IP67 rating and NEMA 4X compliance ensure resistance to dust, water, and chemical washdowns, making it highly suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, and electronics manufacturing lines. A built-in potentiometer allows engineers to fine-tune the sensitivity during installation, while LED indicators offer real-time feedback on sensor status. The 2-meter cable simplifies installation in tight control panels or fiber holders.

Engineered to perform under challenging conditions, the QS18VP6FP maintains consistent operation between -20°C and 70°C, withstanding up to 95% relative humidity. Its output response time of 0.6 ms, repeatability of 150 µs, and 100 ms power-up delay make it ideal for high-speed counting, edge detection, and positioning tasks. The acrylic lens offers excellent optical clarity and durability. For more information, download the QS18VP6FP datasheet or visit the official Banner Engineering website.

Applications of QS18VP6FP: 66224 - Banner

The QS18VP6FP Sensor is optimized for use with plastic fiber optic cables, making it an excellent choice for detecting small objects or positioning items in confined spaces. It’s ideal for packaging machinery where detection must occur in narrow slots, curves, or around tight corners. By guiding the sensing beam through plastic fibers, this model delivers flexibility and precision where conventional sensors cannot reach.

In electronics and PCB assembly lines, it helps confirm component presence in trays or test jigs, especially when parts are miniaturized or obscured. Its compact housing and fiber compatibility allow integration in automated pick-and-place systems, where space and accuracy are both critical. Maintenance engineers can also mount it on robotic arms for real-time feedback during part handling.

The sensor also performs well in pharmaceutical, food processing, and bottling applications where space-saving detection is needed inside transparent tubes or along compact filling nozzles. With a fast response time and rugged construction, the QS18VP6FP helps boost reliability in industrial fiber optic sensing. It’s a preferred option for engineers looking for high-performance sensors tailored to fiber optic solutions.
