The Q12RB6RQ from Banner is a receiver-type photoelectric sensor engineered for high-precision detection over distances up to 2000 mm. Designed to work in through-beam sensing systems, this model utilizes a visible red LED beam at 640 nm wavelength to detect object presence by receiving light from a paired emitter. Its rectangular thermoplastic housing provides long-lasting durability in challenging environments, while the polycarbonate lens ensures optical clarity and resistance to scratches or debris. Rated IP67, the sensor is protected from dust, moisture, and low-pressure water jets, making it reliable in both indoor and semi-outdoor applications.
This sensor operates on a 10β30 V DC power supply and features a 4-pin M8 connector for secure and quick integration into industrial systems. It offers a fast 1.3 ms ON and 0.9 ms OFF response time with 175 Β΅s repeatability, ensuring accurate performance in fast-moving production lines. The built-in LED indicators simplify setup and status monitoring, while the 120 ms power-up delay ensures system stability during startup. With an operational temperature range from -20Β°C to +55Β°C and high humidity tolerance of up to 95% at 50Β°C, the Q12RB6RQ is trusted for critical automation roles across various industrial sectors.
