QS18VP6AF350Q5: 808787 - Banner 350mm Photoelectric Sensor

Engineered for demanding applications, the QS18VP6AF350Q5 from Banner is a high-performance Photoelectric Sensor equipped with an adjustable background suppression system. Its visible red LED beam, operating at 640 nm, ensures accurate and stable object detection within a 350 mm sensing range, regardless of surface color or background reflectivity. The sensor’s rectangular ABS housing is both lightweight and rugged, featuring an IP67 rating and NEMA 4X classification, allowing it to perform reliably in dusty, humid, or wet industrial environments. This model includes a mechanical screw adjustment for easy fine-tuning during setup. It supports PNP discrete outputs and operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply. The 4-pin M12 connector ensures quick integration with minimal downtime. Its response time of 2.5 ms, repeatability of 250 µs, and 200 ms power-up delay make it suitable for moderate-speed automation tasks. With an acrylic lens and built-in LED indicators for alignment and status, the QS18VP6AF350Q5 delivers consistent detection in a wide range of operating conditions from -20°C to 55°C. Whether it’s integrated into OEM machines or retrofitted into older systems, this sensor offers reliability and performance that maintenance engineers and automation professionals can count on.

Applications of Banner QS18VP6AF350Q5

The Banner QS18VP6AF350Q5 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used across assembly lines, pick-and-place stations, and packaging equipment where adjustable background suppression is critical. It’s ideal for detecting objects with variable surface finishes—such as dark-colored parts, reflective components, or transparent containers—without false triggering from backgrounds or conveyor surfaces. Common applications include presence detection in filling machines, component counting on assembly tracks, and edge detection in automated cutting systems. Its compact size makes it perfect for installations where space is limited, while its durability ensures long-term reliability in high-humidity or washdown zones. For engineering colleges and training centers, this sensor provides an excellent hands-on tool to demonstrate industrial-grade detection principles. The QS18VP6AF350Q5 is a practical, field-tested sensor that delivers dependable results across a wide range of automation tasks.
