The Q12AP6FF50Q3 from Banner features a background suppression (fixed) sensing mode, engineered for reliable object detection at a distance of up to 50 mm. This model uses a visible red LED beam at 640 nm wavelength to identify small or reflective targets while ignoring interfering backgrounds. Its durable thermoplastic housing is designed in a space-saving rectangular shape, paired with a polycarbonate lens that ensures high optical clarity and impact resistance. The IP67 rating provides complete protection against dust and water, making it suitable for harsh shop floor conditions.
Powered by a standard 10β30 V DC supply, this sensor supports PNP output and features a 3-pin M8 pigtail QD connector for quick installation and easy replacement in the field. With a swift 0.85 ms ON/OFF response time and precise 175 Β΅s repeatability, the sensor delivers consistent performance even in high-speed operations. It operates in extreme environments ranging from -20Β°C to +55Β°C and includes LED indicators for real-time status feedback, simplifying troubleshooting during maintenance. A 120 ms power-up delay ensures stability at startup, especially in automated systems with power sequencing requirements.
Applications of Q12AP6FF50Q3: 76163 - Banner
The Q12AP6FF50Q3 is well-suited for industrial automation tasks such as label detection, component positioning, or edge detection where background suppression is essential. It performs reliably in packaging lines, small parts feeders, and assembly stations where space constraints limit sensor placement. Its fixed sensing distance ensures dependable operation without the need for frequent adjustments, and its rugged build makes it a preferred choice in dusty, humid, or vibration-prone environments. Junior maintenance engineers appreciate the quick-disconnect feature for fast replacements, while senior engineers rely on its accuracy and long-term stability. For production lines requiring low-maintenance, high-speed detection, this Banner photoelectric sensor stands out as a dependable solution.
