The QS18VN6W sensor from Banner is designed for short-range detection, using a divergent infrared LED beam to detect a wide range of target materials up to 100 mm. Its non-visible infrared light helps in applications where visible beams are not preferred or could interfere with surrounding operations. Housed in a rugged ABS rectangular enclosure, the sensor provides long-lasting performance and is easy to install on machines or conveyor setups. It is rated for IP67 protection and meets NEMA 4X standards, making it fully resistant to dust, water, and challenging operating conditions found in industrial automation.
Operating on a 10β30 V DC power supply, the QS18VN6W delivers NPN discrete output through a 2-meter cable. While it does not feature manual adjustments, the sensor is factory-tuned for optimal performance and requires minimal calibration. It ensures a 0.6 ms output response time and 150 Β΅s repeatability, providing fast and consistent object detection. The sensor powers up quickly with a 100 ms delay and functions in ambient temperatures from -20Β°C to +70Β°C, withstanding up to 95% relative humidity. The acrylic lens ensures optical stability and is paired with intuitive LED indicators for live status feedback, helping operators monitor performance without downtime.
Applications of QS18VN6W: 61657 - Banner
The Banner QS18VN6W Divergent Mode Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for detecting translucent, shiny, uneven, or low-contrast objects where traditional sensing modes may struggle. Common applications include label detection, part counting on small conveyors, presence verification in packaging lines, and component detection in robotic cells. Its wide-beam divergent mode allows detection of misaligned or loosely placed items, making it highly useful for dynamic environments where object orientation varies. Plant engineers value it for its plug-and-play simplicity, compact footprint, and reliable sensing in real-time operations. Whether installed in a fast-moving assembly line or a compact inspection station, the QS18VN6W offers dependable performance with minimal configuration.
