The Q12AP6RQ3 from Banner is a dedicated receiver-type photoelectric sensor built for high-precision sensing in demanding environments. It features a maximum sensing distance of 2000 mm, making it suitable for long-range detection tasks in production lines and warehouse systems. The unit operates with a visible red LED at 640 nm and is housed in a rugged rectangular thermoplastic body designed to resist wear and mechanical stress. It also includes a durable polycarbonate lens that enhances optical clarity while withstanding industrial contaminants.
With a 3-pin M8 connection and PNP discrete output, the Q12AP6RQ3 offers simple integration into control systems and PLCs. It supports a standard 10β30 V DC power supply, and its performance remains stable across a temperature range of -20Β°C to +55Β°C. The sensor is equipped with LED indicators for visual feedback, and its fast output response timeβ1.3 ms ON and 0.9 ms OFFβensures minimal delay during rapid operations. A 175 Β΅s repeatability enables dependable detection in high-speed applications. Additionally, the IP67 ingress protection rating guarantees resistance to water and dust, supporting reliable operation in both indoor and semi-harsh environments.
