Q12AB6FF30: 72110 - Banner 30mm Range Photoelectric Sensor

The Q12AB6FF30: 72110 - Banner Photoelectric Sensor is designed to deliver reliable short-range object detection with enhanced immunity to background reflection. It features a fixed background suppression sensing mode, allowing precise detection of targets within a 30 mm range, making it perfect for presence sensing in small automation cells, part bins, and close-range conveyor checkpoints.

This sensor uses a visible red LED beam with a wavelength of 640 nm, offering clear alignment during setup and operation. Its compact rectangular thermoplastic housing ensures both lightweight design and long-term durability. With an IP67 rating, the sensor is dustproof and waterproof, suitable for use in washdown areas and industrial environments exposed to moisture, oil mist, or mechanical shock. The 2-meter cable connection simplifies direct wiring in tight enclosures and control panels.

The Q12AB6FF30 supports a 10–30 V DC power supply and features a bipolar output (NPN & PNP), enabling easy integration with different PLC configurations. Its fast 0.85 ms ON/OFF response time and 175 µs repeatability make it suitable for high-speed detection applications. Designed with a polycarbonate lens and intuitive LED status indicators, this sensor minimizes installation and maintenance efforts. It performs efficiently between -20°C and +55°C with up to 95% relative humidity, ensuring robust operation across a variety of industries.

The Banner Q12AB6FF30: 72110 Photoelectric Sensor is engineered for precise object detection in applications where space is limited, and reflectivity of the background must be ignored. In automated assembly lines, it verifies part presence before pick-and-place operations, especially when components are placed on reflective trays or metal surfaces. Its 30 mm fixed detection range provides accurate results without the need for calibration.

In packaging and labeling systems, this sensor ensures items like pouches, bottles, and boxes are correctly positioned before sealing or printing. The fast response time allows it to handle high-speed conveyor lines without delay. The sensor’s compact profile makes it ideal for integration in robotic arms, sorting mechanisms, and compact enclosures, where standard-size sensors may not fit.

It is also widely used in electronics manufacturing and small part detection applications, where detecting the presence of tiny PCBs or connectors is essential. The easy-to-install design and universal output configuration (NPN & PNP) reduce wiring complexity, while the LED spot and indicators allow quick visual verification. For teams seeking reliable close-range sensing with background rejection, the Q12AB6FF30 offers performance, simplicity, and durability in one compact device.
