QS18VN6LLPQ8: 73240 - Banner 10000mm Photoelectric Sensor

Built for accuracy and endurance, the Banner QS18VN6LLPQ8 sensor integrates a visible red Class 1 laser beam that reaches up to 10000 mm, making it ideal for long-distance detection across factory floors. The sensor is encased in a rugged ABS housing with a rectangular body and M18 mount, engineered for easy installation and high resistance to industrial environments. Its IP67 rating and NEMA 4X protection ensure reliable operation even in dusty, moist, or chemically exposed areas. Operating on a 10–30 V DC power supply, the device features NPN output, 4-pin M12 connector, and a quick 0.7 ms response time. Key internal specifications include a sensing beam wavelength of 650 nm, repeatability of 130 µs, and power-up delay of 200 ms. The acrylic lens and LED status indicators make alignment and diagnostics easy. The unit also includes a potentiometer adjustment for fine-tuning sensitivity, allowing engineers to configure it with precision. Operating temperatures range from -10°C to 50°C, ensuring performance stability in diverse climate conditions.

Applications of Banner QS18VN6LLPQ8

The QS18VN6LLPQ8 Photoelectric Sensor is a top choice in environments where long-range accuracy and reliability are essential. It is widely used in pallet detection, tall item sensing, and warehouse automation systems, where sensors must identify objects across extended distances without false triggers. Its polarized beam ensures that shiny or reflective surfaces do not interfere with readings—an issue commonly faced in conveyor systems and packaging machinery. In automotive assembly lines, the sensor supports component presence verification from afar, reducing the need for manual inspection and increasing efficiency. OEMs also deploy this model in large part feeders and robotic pick-and-place setups where sensor reliability at long ranges is critical. Even in harsh environments like chemical plants or outdoor logistics yards, the QS18VN6LLPQ8 proves its worth through rugged construction and Class 1 laser safety compliance. For engineering colleges, it offers a clear demonstration of advanced photoelectric sensing in high-precision industrial automation projects.
