Q40SP6FF600Q: 34343 - Banner Infrared LED Background Suppression Sensor

The Banner Q40SP6FF600Q stands out for its advanced background suppression capability using a fixed-mode infrared LED beam, allowing it to detect objects up to 600 mm away without being affected by the background surface. This makes it highly effective in areas where varying colors, textures, or lighting can lead to false detections in traditional sensors. With a rugged thermoplastic housing and sealed polycarbonate lens, this model is engineered for longevity and reliability under harsh factory conditions. It complies with both IP67 and IP69K ratings, ensuring total resistance to dust ingress and high-pressure washdowns. The sensor is also certified with a NEMA 4X enclosure rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Powered by a 10–30 V DC supply, the sensor connects via a standard M12 connector and supports PNP discrete output for seamless integration with industrial control systems. Engineers benefit from a quick 3 ms output response time, high repeatability of 750 µs, and a reliable startup with just 100 ms delay. Operational temperatures range from -40°C to +70°C, and the sensor includes LED status indicators to simplify commissioning and diagnostics.

Applications of Q40SP6FF600Q: 34343 - Banner

The Q40SP6FF600Q is well-suited for automated packaging lines where background variations—like conveyor belts, walls, or metallic surfaces—often disrupt standard sensors. Its fixed background suppression ensures reliable detection of boxes, pouches, or transparent items without adjusting settings. In FMCG and bottling plants, it enables consistent presence detection of items with irregular or shiny surfaces. The sensor also finds applications in machine loading systems, where it detects components on jigs or pallets, regardless of color or reflectivity. In environments like textile or printing plants, where sensor reliability is affected by ambient light and surface patterns, the Banner Q40SP6FF600Q delivers accurate readings with no false triggers. Thanks to its IP69K washdown rating, it is a trusted choice in food and beverage processing, enabling hygienic operation and fast cleanup. For maintenance engineers and automation teams seeking minimal setup and maximum uptime, this photoelectric sensor brings unmatched value.
