The M18SP6DQ: 48663 sensor from Banner is engineered with robust features that meet the needs of harsh industrial environments. It employs an infrared LED sensing beam in a diffuse mode, allowing precise detection of objects without the need for a separate reflector. The sensor is housed in a rugged stainless steel barrel (Γ18 mm), built to endure challenging operating conditions, and includes an IP69K and NEMA 4X rating for water, dust, and high-pressure washdown resistance. Its power supply range of 10β30 V DC and fast output response time of just 3 ms ensure real-time performance in automated production lines. Additional technical strengths include a maximum sensing distance of 100 mm, PNP discrete output, and a standard M12 4-pin connector for simplified integration. The sensor operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40Β°C to +70Β°C, while an LED indicator on the housing gives instant status feedback to maintenance teams. Built with an acrylic lens and a repeatability of 750 Β΅s, it ensures consistent detection even in high-vibration zones. The 100 ms delay at power-up prevents false signals during startup, enhancing overall system stability. With a humidity tolerance of up to 90% @ 50Β°C, this sensor performs with consistency in humid or semi-open plant environments.
Applications of M18SP6DQ: 48663 - Banner
The Banner M18SP6DQ Infrared LED Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for conveyor-based detection, bottle or object counting, packaging verification, and presence detection in assembly lines. Its diffuse sensing mode eliminates the need for reflectors, making it perfect for spaces where reflectors are difficult to install or maintain. In pharmaceutical plants, it can be used for small object presence sensing without physical contact, while in food and beverage environments, the IP69K-rated stainless steel housing ensures hygiene compliance during washdowns. Engineers in automotive and electronics industries rely on its fast response and compact design for precise part alignment and quality inspection tasks.
