Q3XTBLD200-Q8: 91635 - Banner 200 mm Discrete Photo Sensor

The Banner Q3XTBLD200-Q8 features a visible red Class 2 laser beam with a pinpoint wavelength of 655 nm, enabling accurate background suppression up to 200 mm. Its Diffuse/Background Suppression sensing mode ensures that only the target is detected—even in the presence of highly reflective or dark backgrounds. Built into a compact rectangular housing with a robust M18 mounting base, the sensor is crafted from nickel-plated metal for maximum durability. With an IP67, IP68, and IP69K ingress rating and NEMA 4X compliance, it operates reliably in wet, dusty, and high-pressure washdown environments. The discrete I/O interface and bipolar output (NPN & PNP) offer flexible control, while the M12 quick-connect makes installation simple and secure.

Internally, the sensor is designed for high-speed applications, delivering a fast 0.25 ms response time and repeatability of just 60 µs. It operates on a standard 10–30 V DC power supply and functions effectively in a temperature range from -10°C to +50°C. A Teach Button simplifies on-site setup, allowing operators to calibrate it without tools or programming. Additional specifications include a power-up delay of 1000 ms, a 5-pin connection format, LED indicators for real-time diagnostics, and a durable acrylic lens for stable optical performance. With an 18 mm barrel diameter and sleek design, the Q3XTBLD200-Q8 is optimized for space-limited control panels or tight automation cells.

The Banner 200 mm Discrete Photo Sensor is trusted in automated packaging lines, pick-and-place robotics, machine safety zones, and object positioning systems. It excels in applications that require selective detection at medium distances—such as distinguishing parts on a fast-moving conveyor or ignoring shiny machinery in the background. Maintenance engineers rely on its ruggedness for FMCG, pharma, automotive, and electronics industries where accurate presence detection is critical. Even in humid or washdown areas, the sensor's sealed construction ensures stable operation without false triggers. For engineers and OEMs seeking long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, the Q3XTBLD200-Q8 delivers performance that goes far beyond basic photoelectric sensing.
