QS18VP6CV15: 61642 - Banner 16 mm Convergent Photoelectric Sensor

Engineered for precision, the Banner QS18VP6CV15 offers a convergent sensing mode with a tightly focused detection point at just 16 mm. This makes it exceptionally suitable for applications requiring exact object presence confirmation—such as counting small components, verifying label placement, or checking packaging integrity. The visible red LED beam (wavelength: 630 nm) allows easy alignment and visual verification during installation or maintenance. The PNP discrete output ensures straightforward integration into standard PLCs and control systems. Its response time of 0.6 ms and repeatability of 150 µs provide excellent consistency in fast-moving automation setups.

Durability is assured with an IP67 ingress protection rating and a NEMA 4X enclosure, enabling the sensor to withstand exposure to dust, moisture, and industrial washdowns. The body is built using tough ABS housing, while the lens is made of acrylic, making it both lightweight and resilient. The rectangular housing includes an M18 barrel mount for flexible mounting options in compact spaces. Operating within a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C and relative humidity of up to 95%, the QS18VP6CV15 remains reliable across harsh factory conditions. It runs on a 10–30 V DC power supply and features a 4-pin connection with a standard 2-meter cable for quick wiring.

Its sensitivity can be adjusted via a built-in potentiometer, making it adaptable to various target sizes and surface reflectivities. The 100 ms power-up delay ensures smooth sensor boot-up during system startups. If you’re seeking a high-precision, compact, and rugged Photoelectric Sensor with a 16 mm convergent range, the QS18VP6CV15: 61642 is an excellent choice.

Applications of QS18VP6CV15: 61642 - Banner

The QS18VP6CV15 is best suited for detection tasks where space is tight, and accuracy is non-negotiable. In electronic assembly lines, it helps detect the presence of small PCB components before soldering or robotic placement. Its fixed 16 mm focal point ensures that only objects at the correct distance trigger detection, reducing false positives from background objects.

In packaging and labelling machines, the sensor confirms label application on bottles, pouches, or cartons. Even transparent or semi-reflective surfaces are accurately detected due to the focused convergent beam. The sensor’s small form factor and quick response make it an asset on fast-moving conveyor lines or compact inspection modules.

Additionally, it finds use in automated pick-and-place systems to verify part presence before gripping or ejection. Maintenance engineers appreciate its LED indicators for easy status checks, and setup is simplified with the visible beam and potentiometer adjustment. Whether used in standalone machines or integrated into larger automation systems, the QS18VP6CV15 ensures confidence, speed, and clarity in industrial object sensing.
