The Q12AP6FF15Q3 sensor from Banner is engineered with a Background Suppression (Fixed) sensing mode, providing accurate detection of targets at a fixed distance while ignoring the background. This model operates with a visible red LED beam at 640 nm wavelength, and supports a maximum sensing distance of 15 mm. Designed with a thermoplastic rectangular housing, it is both lightweight and durable, ensuring long-term performance even in harsh industrial settings.
The sensor’s IP67-rated enclosure protects it from dust and water ingress, making it suitable for applications exposed to moisture or oil spray. It operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply with a fast 0.85 ms ON/OFF response time and features a clear LED indicator for visual status monitoring. Connection is established via a robust M8 connector with a 3-pin discrete output, supporting PNP logic. The device functions efficiently in temperatures from -20°C to +55°C, with a high repeatability of 175 µs—ideal for high-speed automation processes. Its polycarbonate lens enhances light transmission while maintaining impact resistance.
Applications of Q12AP6FF15Q3: 77101 - Banner include precision part detection on conveyor belts, automated assembly lines, and packaging systems where the background must be ignored for accurate sensing. It's widely used in bottle counting, PCB placement, object verification, and small component detection in compact machine environments. Maintenance engineers prefer it for its plug-and-play M8 connector, while plant heads trust its consistent performance even in dusty or oily conditions. If your goal is high-speed, close-range sensing with reduced false triggers, this sensor delivers with proven reliability.
