The QS18EP6CV45 sensor from Banner uses a convergent sensing mode to detect objects at a focused, fixed range of up to 43 mm. This makes it ideal for identifying small, precise targets without background interference. The sensor emits a Visible Red LED beam with a wavelength of 630 nm, ensuring excellent alignment visibility during installation. Its robust ABS housing is built into a rectangular body with an M18 mounting base, offering mechanical stability and universal mounting compatibility. Rated with IP67 and NEMA 4X, the unit is sealed against dust, water spray, and challenging environments, making it a trusted component on factory floors and in harsh production lines.
This Banner Photoelectric Sensor is equipped with a 2-meter cable for flexible connectivity and operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply. It provides PNP discrete output and includes a Teach Button for effortless range calibration during setup. The device delivers a 0.6 ms output response time, a 100 ms power-up delay, and repeatability down to 75 µs, enabling fast and repeatable performance in high-speed operations. The PMMA lens maintains optical clarity, while LED indicators offer live feedback on sensing status for real-time diagnostics. It performs reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and tolerates humidity levels up to 95% at 50°C, ensuring uninterrupted function in dynamic production environments.
