QS18VP6AF100Q: 65503 - Banner M8 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18VP6AF100Q features a durable rectangular ABS housing with an M8 connector and is rated for IP67 and NEMA 4X environmental protection. This ensures it remains sealed against water, dust, and corrosion, making it ideal for factory floors and industrial machinery. The sensor operates with a Visible Red LED beam and provides background suppression capabilities—allowing it to accurately detect objects within 100 mm while ignoring backgrounds or reflective surfaces. It delivers a PNP output and works reliably within a 10–30 V DC supply range. The sensing beam wavelength is set at 640 nm, offering high visibility for alignment. The device has a fast 0.7 ms output response time and repeatability of 175 µs, ensuring sharp and consistent signal performance. With a mechanical screw adjustment for fine-tuning the sensing distance, engineers can quickly calibrate the sensor during installation. The acrylic lens and status LEDs offer visual feedback, while its maximum operating temperature of 55°C supports most industrial applications. The QS18VP6AF100Q powers up within 200 ms, minimizing startup delays in automated systems.

Applications of QS18VP6AF100Q: 65503 - Banner

The QS18VP6AF100Q is well-suited for applications requiring precise detection in confined spaces—especially where background variation might otherwise cause false triggers. It is commonly used in packaging lines for counting small boxes, bottles, or labels, where cluttered environments make standard sensors unreliable. Its background suppression capability ensures that only the target object is sensed, even if metallic parts or machinery are present behind it. In electronics and assembly automation, this sensor helps confirm the presence of components before a machine performs operations like picking, pressing, or gluing. The compact size and M8 quick-disconnect interface make it ideal for quick maintenance swaps. Because of its reliability, Banner’s M8 photoelectric sensors are often preferred by Indian system integrators and maintenance engineers working on precision conveyor belts, pick-and-place robots, or quality inspection modules.
