QS18VP6AF300Q5: 10659 - Banner Adjustable Field Background Suppression

The Banner QS18VP6AF300Q5: 10659 is an Adjustable Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor designed to deliver accurate detection of targets in cluttered industrial environments. With a sensing range up to 300 mm, it uses a visible red LED light beam at 640 nm wavelength, allowing operators to easily align the sensor to the desired target. Its adjustable mechanical screw enables users to fine-tune the detection window, suppressing unwanted reflections from shiny or distant backgrounds. This sensor is housed in a rugged rectangular ABS body with an IP67 rating and NEMA 4X compliance, ensuring resistance to water ingress, dust, and chemical exposure. The M12 connector offers quick and secure integration into control panels and machine wiring setups. The sensor runs on a 10–30 V DC power supply, with PNP discrete output suitable for modern PLC systems. It responds quickly with a 2.5 ms output response time and maintains repeatability of 250 µs, ensuring consistent and precise performance in dynamic automation environments. The 4-pin connector and built-in LED indicators enhance diagnostics and reduce downtime during installation and maintenance. Operating between -20°C to 55°C, the QS18VP6AF300Q5 is engineered for durability in temperature-sensitive environments.

Applications of QS18VP6AF300Q5: 10659 - Banner Adjustable Field Background Suppression

The QS18VP6AF300Q5 is commonly used in industrial scenarios where background surfaces can interfere with sensor performance. It is ideal for automated inspection stations, robotic arms, and material handling systems where parts of different colors, shapes, or reflectivity need to be detected precisely. Its ability to suppress background reflection makes it perfect for detecting objects on conveyor belts with varying backgrounds, such as dark plastic bins, shiny packaging, or reflective metal surfaces. In packaging lines, the sensor ensures correct product placement by ignoring unwanted reflections from the conveyor or adjacent objects. In electronics assembly, it reliably detects PCBs or components without false triggers caused by reflective soldering surfaces. Even in food processing or bottling plants, where stainless steel and high humidity are common, the QS18VP6AF300Q5 performs consistently. For operations that demand tight control over detection distance without using reflectors, this sensor offers exceptional flexibility and precision.
