QS18AB6AF300Q5: 11461 - Banner BGS Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18AB6AF300Q5: 11461 features an adjustable background suppression sensing mode, allowing it to accurately detect targets in front of reflective or complex backgrounds—ideal for systems where ambient interference must be minimized. It utilizes a visible red LED beam with a sensing range up to 300 mm, and includes a mechanical screw adjustment to fine-tune detection based on object distance and reflectivity. The sensor operates on a 10–30 V DC supply and supports bipolar (NPN and PNP) outputs, providing flexibility in both legacy and modern control systems. The M12 connector enables fast, secure installation, and the IP67 rating ensures protection against water and dust ingress, while the NEMA 4X rating adds durability for corrosive or washdown applications. Designed with a rugged ABS housing and an acrylic lens, this rectangular sensor is capable of withstanding harsh industrial conditions. The output response time of 2.5 ms makes it suitable for medium-speed applications, and the repeatability of 250 µs guarantees consistent performance across repeated cycles. With a power-up delay of 200 ms and temperature tolerance from -20°C to 55°C, the QS18AB6AF300Q5 is ready for demanding tasks in sectors such as packaging, bottling, material handling, and component inspection. LED indicators provide quick diagnostics, improving usability during setup and maintenance. For detailed technical documents, refer to the official Banner QS18AB6AF300Q5 datasheet.

Applications of QS18AB6AF300Q5: 11461 - Banner

The QS18AB6AF300Q5 is a preferred choice for industries where precision detection near reflective surfaces is required. In automated bottling lines, it identifies transparent bottles regardless of background noise. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it accurately senses blister packs or cartons without false triggering from reflective surfaces. For electronics assembly, its short-range focus helps detect small components with minimal adjustment. Its bipolar output support makes it easy to integrate into both NPN and PNP-based control systems, simplifying retrofit projects. With its compact body and dependable performance in tough factory environments, this Banner BGS sensor ensures fewer false signals, improved cycle times, and better process consistency—making it a must-have in modern industrial setups.
