The Banner M18-3VPDL-Q8: 88322 stands out in its class with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and a robust IP67/IP68 ingress protection rating, making it highly suitable for harsh industrial settings such as washdowns, metalworking, and chemical processing zones. Its diffuse sensing mode allows detection of targets without the need for a reflector, and it supports a maximum sensing distance of 750 mm with a visible red LED beam (wavelength 624 nm) for easy alignment. The sensor operates on a stable 10–30 V DC power supply and features a PNP output with fast response times as low as 1.5 ms, ensuring precise and rapid signal switching in conveyor lines or automated inspection systems.
With its M12 connector and 4-pin discrete I/O, this sensor is easy to install and integrate across standard industrial control panels. The integrated potentiometer allows manual adjustment of the detection range, and onboard LED indicators simplify diagnostics during commissioning and maintenance. Operating reliably between -40°C to +70°C with high humidity tolerance up to 95% at 50°C, the M18-3VPDL-Q8 ensures consistent performance across a wide range of factory environments. The use of a durable acrylic lens further enhances its resistance to wear and chemical exposure, giving this model a long service life in tough conditions. For detailed engineering specs or integration guidelines, refer to the official M18-3VPDL-Q8 datasheet.
The Banner M18-3VPDL-Q8: 88322 Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for object presence detection on fast-moving conveyor systems in packaging, food & beverage, and material handling industries. It reliably detects varied target colors and surfaces, even under challenging lighting or dust-laden environments. In bottling lines, it ensures cap or label detection without false triggers. In pharmaceutical plants, it enables hygienic sensing without reflectors, reducing contamination risks.
For automotive and component assembly units, this sensor streamlines part confirmation during robotic pick-and-place operations, reducing downtime and manual errors. Its precise response and compact size make it suitable for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), panel insertion stations, and edge detection tasks. With 750 mm sensing range and quick installation using the M12 connector, engineers can retrofit this sensor into tight spaces or rapidly deploy it in new builds. Overall, it enhances process reliability and ensures consistent quality in high-speed, automated production lines.
