The Banner QS18VN6FF100Q8 is a discrete NPN photoelectric sensor built for accurate object detection within a fixed 100 mm sensing range. It uses background suppression (fixed) to eliminate false triggering caused by reflective or moving backgrounds. The sensing beam is generated by a Visible Red LED with a 630 nm wavelength, offering a sharp, visible detection spot. This sensor operates at 10–30 V DC and connects via a 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect, simplifying installation and replacement on production lines. With an IP67 rating and NEMA 4X compliance, the device is well-protected against dust, moisture, and washdowns in harsh industrial environments. The ABS housing and acrylic lens provide strong mechanical durability.
Engineered for reliability and ease of use, the QS18VN6FF100Q8 features a response time of 0.85 ms and repeatability of 160 µs, making it a dependable choice for time-critical automation. It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +70°C and supports up to 95% relative humidity. The compact 18 mm barrel design and LED indicators allow for fast diagnostics during commissioning or troubleshooting. With no adjustment required, it's a true plug-and-play sensor that reduces setup time while maintaining consistent detection performance.
Applications of QS18VN6FF100Q8: 71878 - Banner NPN Photo Sensor
The QS18VN6FF100Q8 is ideal for object detection, conveyor-based part tracking, and presence sensing in tight industrial spaces. Its fixed background suppression ensures stable operation even in front of complex or inconsistent surfaces, such as metal frames, vibrating machines, or glossy packaging materials. Common use cases include electronics assembly lines, food and beverage packaging stations, and component sorting systems. Maintenance engineers prefer this model for its rugged design, fast installation, and minimal maintenance. Engineering students and training institutions also use it to teach NPN-based sensor integration with PLCs. If your automation system needs accurate short-range detection with high stability and easy wiring, the Banner QS18VN6FF100Q8 is a reliable solution.
