The Banner M18SP6FF50Q is engineered for dependable retroreflective sensing with advanced polarized beam technology, ensuring accurate detection of shiny or reflective objects without false triggering. Featuring a robust barrel-style housing made from industrial-grade materials, this M18 sensor is well-suited for harsh applications. It uses a visible red LED beam and operates on a 10β30 V DC power supply, making it compatible with most industrial control systems. The sensor supports a maximum sensing distance of 5000 mm when paired with a standard reflector, enabling long-range object detection in tight or fast-paced production lines.
Rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, the M18SP6FF50Q is resistant to water, dust, and cleaning agents, allowing for seamless operation in washdown zones, food processing lines, and automotive production setups. The M12 connector and 4-pin configuration simplify wiring, while onboard LED indicators offer real-time visual feedback during alignment and operation. With a fast response time of 0.5 ms and a 660 nm beam wavelength, this Banner photoelectric sensor ensures both speed and stability in automated processes. Its integrated potentiometer allows sensitivity adjustment on-site, offering greater control over detection range and performance. Designed for operating temperatures between -20Β°C and 60Β°C and up to 90% humidity, the M18SP6FF50Q is a proven solution trusted by plant engineers, OEMs, and system integrators alike.

Applications of M18SP6FF50Q: 48671 - Banner
The M18SP6FF50Q is ideal for high-speed packaging and bottling lines where clear object detection is required, even with reflective or shiny surfaces. In automated conveyor systems, it ensures product presence verification without misreads caused by glare. In food processing environments, the IP67-rated housing protects the sensor from water and detergent exposure during washdowns. Automotive assembly lines use this sensor to detect reflective metallic parts reliably, avoiding signal bounce or interference. Its adjustable sensitivity and long detection range make it perfect for both compact setups and wide detection zones. Engineers prefer the Banner polarized retro sensor for its ease of installation, fast response, and high resistance to environmental challenges.
