The QS18VN6LAF from Banner offers a precise background suppression sensing mode using a visible red laser beam, designed to detect objects within a range of up to 150 mm while ignoring reflective backgrounds. This feature enhances its performance in applications where object color or background reflectivity varies. The sensor uses a discrete NPN output and is connected via a 2-meter cable, supporting quick integration into existing industrial systems. Its ABS rectangular housing is rated for IP67 and NEMA 4X environments, ensuring protection against dust, water, and harsh cleaning procedures. Internally, it incorporates Class 1 laser technology with a 650 nm wavelength, offering a highly visible and accurate detection beam. Operational performance is optimized with a power supply range of 10–30 V DC, a fast 0.7 ms response time, and a repeatability of 130 µs. A mechanical screw adjustment allows fine-tuning during installation, while LED indicators provide real-time feedback during operation. This sensor is built for consistency even in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C with up to 95% relative humidity. The QS18VN6LAF exemplifies Banner’s commitment to producing rugged, high-performance sensing solutions.
