The M18SP6RQ: 48651 from Banner is a powerful receiver-type photoelectric sensor designed for high-accuracy long-range object detection in automation systems. Built to work as the receiving end of a through-beam sensor pair, it enables consistent detection over an extended sensing distance of 20,000 mm (20 meters) when used with a compatible emitter. Housed in a durable stainless steel barrel (18 mm diameter), it ensures mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in rugged production environments. With an IP69K and NEMA 4X rating, it performs reliably in areas exposed to water jets, steam, or dust, making it suitable for food processing, packaging, and outdoor equipment. This Banner sensor runs on a wide 10–30 V DC power input and delivers PNP discrete output for easy integration with standard control systems. It connects via a secure M12 4-pin connector, supports a fast response time of 3 ms ON / 1.5 ms OFF, and includes a polycarbonate lens that maintains optical integrity under continuous industrial use. Its quick setup is supported by built-in LED indicators and a 100 ms delay at power-up to prevent false signals during system initialization. The repeatability of 375 µs ensures highly stable detection, even in high-speed automation cycles. Operating reliably between -40°C and +70°C, and tolerating up to 90% relative humidity at 50°C, this sensor is engineered to deliver dependable results in even the toughest plant conditions.
Applications of M18SP6RQ: 48651 - Banner
The Banner M18SP6RQ Sensing Mode Receiver Photoelectric Sensor is ideally suited for long-range object detection tasks in conveyor systems, gate control, or automated storage and retrieval systems. It is commonly paired with a through-beam emitter to detect pallets, vehicles, cartons, or personnel at distances where standard sensors fail. In warehouse automation, this sensor plays a critical role in positioning systems where precise, interference-free detection is essential. In the food and beverage industry, its IP69K stainless steel design ensures continuous performance even after high-pressure washdowns. Automotive plants utilize it for robotic cell entry/exit detection or vehicle presence sensing on tracks. Its long range, compact form, and quick response make the M18SP6RQ a trusted choice for engineers designing large-area sensing zones or integrating safety interlocks in industrial systems.
