The Banner M12PLVQ8 features a non-polarized sensing mode with a maximum sensing distance of 2500 mm, making it suitable for retroreflective object detection over longer ranges. It operates with a visible red LED beam at 660 nm wavelength, enabling fast and accurate alignment even in areas with reflective surfaces or limited contrast. The sensor is housed in a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass barrel with a 12 mm diameter, offering robust mechanical performance in dusty, wet, or high-vibration environments. Its PMMA lens ensures consistent optical clarity, while dual LED indicators provide clear feedback during setup and operation.
Designed to thrive in harsh industrial conditions, the M12PLVQ8 carries IP67 and IP68 ratings and complies with NEMA 4X standards, ensuring protection from water ingress, dust, and washdowns. It supports a 10β30 V DC power supply and features a 4-pin M12 connector with PNP discrete output, making it easy to integrate into most industrial control systems. With a 100 ms power-up delay and 0.5 ms response time, it supports high-speed production processes without compromising safety or accuracy. The sensor also includes a potentiometer adjustment for sensitivity tuning and operates reliably in temperatures from -20Β°C to +60Β°C, with up to 90% relative humidity.

Applications of M12PLVQ8: 77187 - Banner
The M12PLVQ8 is ideal for applications that require long-distance retroreflective sensing without polarization constraints. It performs reliably in packaging lines to detect boxes, bottles, or trays regardless of label reflectivity. In logistics and warehousing, it identifies pallets or packages as they pass through sorting zones, reducing read errors caused by inconsistent lighting or surfaces. On assembly lines, it verifies part presence in harsh environments like metal processing or painting booths. Its IP68-rated build allows it to operate in washdown zones, making it suitable for food, beverage, or pharmaceutical systems. For engineers seeking a tough, long-range, non-polarized sensing solution, the Banner M12PLVQ8 delivers accuracy, versatility, and plug-and-play reliability.
