Q12AB6LV: 72122 - Banner 1.5m Retroreflective Sensor

Built for reliable object detection in industrial environments, the Q12AB6LV operates in a non-polarized retroreflective mode, eliminating the need for a specific reflector orientation. It uses a Visible Red LED beam with a wavelength of 640 nm and supports a long-range sensing distance of up to 1500 mm. This makes it highly effective for detecting large or reflective objects at a distance. Powered by a 10–30 V DC input, it offers bipolar output (NPN & PNP) for integration with a wide range of PLCs and control circuits. The sensor responds swiftly with a 0.7 ms output time and has a 120 ms power-up delay, ensuring fast startup and minimal lag in dynamic automation systems. Housed in a rugged thermoplastic rectangular body and rated IP67, the Q12AB6LV can withstand exposure to dust, water, and challenging environmental conditions. It features a 2-meter cable for flexible installation, and LED indicators for real-time status visibility. With reliable performance across a temperature range of -20°C to 55°C and up to 95% relative humidity, this sensor is trusted across industries for its durability, repeatability (175 µs), and ease of integration. Its polycarbonate lens ensures optical clarity and mechanical toughness—ideal for demanding industrial automation setups.

Applications of Q12AB6LV: 72122 - Banner

The Banner Q12AB6LV is widely used in automated conveyors, packaging lines, and bottling systems where long-distance object detection is essential. Its retroreflective sensing mode makes it perfect for counting, positioning, or detecting shiny and irregular objects without being affected by background surfaces. In material handling systems, it efficiently monitors pallets, trays, or containers moving across zones. Maintenance teams often choose this sensor in logistics hubs and factory automation projects where sensor alignment, ruggedness, and long-range accuracy are key concerns. This sensor is especially suitable for Indian industries where dusty conditions and temperature variations are common. Thanks to its non-polarized beam, it simplifies installation by reducing alignment errors. For OEMs and panel builders, the Q12AB6LV provides a dependable, plug-and-play solution that meets both performance and budget needs. Whether deployed in a new machine or retrofitted into an existing line, this sensor helps ensure accurate detection without signal distortion—even in high-vibration or reflective surface environments.
