The Banner QS18VN6LD: 73034 Photoelectric Sensor features a diffuse sensing mode with a maximum sensing distance of 300 mm, making it suitable for detecting objects without requiring reflectors. Its visible red laser beam (650 nm) offers a clearly defined spot that helps maintenance engineers align the sensor quickly and precisely, even in visually challenging environments. The sensor utilizes a Class 1 laser for safe operation and supports NPN discrete outputs for seamless integration into most automation systems.
This model is housed in a rugged ABS rectangular body with an M18 mount, designed for space-constrained installations. With an IP67 rating and NEMA 4X certification, it offers protection against dust, water, and industrial contaminants, making it suitable for indoor and semi-wet environments. A mechanical potentiometer allows users to fine-tune sensitivity without software or programming. The 2-meter pre-wired cable ensures quick setup, and LED indicators on the housing provide instant feedback on sensor status.
Operating across a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and withstanding 95% relative humidity, the QS18VN6LD maintains stable performance under varying environmental conditions. With a response time of 0.7 ms, repeatability of 130 µs, and a power-up delay of 200 ms, it is built for high-speed production lines and machine operations.

Applications of QS18VN6LD: 73034 - Banner
The QS18VN6LD Diffuse Beam Sensor is well-suited for conveyor-based automation where it can reliably detect boxes, parts, and irregular objects without the need for reflectors. It excels in environments where target materials vary in color, shape, or surface finish. The diffuse mode ensures stable detection of close-range objects in fast-moving production lines.
In pharmaceutical and cosmetic filling machines, this sensor detects the presence of packaging like tubes, bottles, or cartons—even when they're made of plastic or semi-glossy materials. With its compact rectangular design, it fits easily into tight spaces in automated machines. The laser spot helps operators align the sensor quickly during maintenance or new installations, saving valuable setup time.
The sensor is also deployed in food processing, component assembly, and electronic part detection where fast response and accurate presence verification are essential. Whether it's monitoring part availability, confirming tray position, or ensuring package detection in multi-line setups, the QS18VN6LD offers durability, precision, and ease of use—making it a preferred choice among Indian factory engineers and automation professionals.
