QS18VP6CV45: 61648 - Banner 43 mm Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18VP6CV45 Photoelectric Sensor is built for accuracy, reliability, and compact performance in close-proximity detection applications. With a maximum sensing distance of 43 mm, it uses a convergent sensing mode that enables the sensor to sharply focus the visible red LED beam (630 nm) at a fixed point. This sharply focused spot is ideal for detecting small, shiny, or translucent objects without false triggers from background surfaces. Its 0.6 ms response time ensures fast detection in dynamic systems, while the repeatability of 150 µs adds measurement consistency in every cycle.

Designed with industrial durability in mind, the sensor has an IP67 protection rating and a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it resistant to dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns. The ABS housing is paired with an acrylic lens and features an M18 barrel mount for easy installation on standard fixtures. With a 10–30 V DC power supply and PNP discrete output, it integrates easily with PLCs and control systems across multiple industries. The 4-pin wiring system and 2-meter cable offer flexible connectivity. Additionally, the sensor includes a built-in potentiometer adjustment for sensitivity fine-tuning, ensuring it performs well even in application-specific setups.

Engineers trust the QS18VP6CV45: 61648 for applications where precise object detection within limited range is critical—such as checking label presence, detecting small parts on feeders, or sensing transparent packaging. It performs reliably across ambient temperatures from -20°C to 70°C, even at up to 95% relative humidity. To learn more, download the official datasheet or visit Banner Engineering’s website.

Applications of QS18VP6CV45: 61648 - Banner

The QS18VP6CV45 Photoelectric Sensor is optimized for detecting small parts and fine edges in close-range applications. It is particularly useful in electronics assembly lines, where components are compact, and accurate part detection is essential to avoid process errors. Thanks to its convergent beam, it detects objects placed precisely at its focal point, ignoring background reflections or adjacent surfaces.

In pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging lines, this sensor helps detect caps, labels, or vials as they pass through high-speed filling and sealing machines. Its compact rectangular housing and M18 mount make it suitable for integrating into confined spaces without obstructing the workflow. The visible red LED also aids maintenance teams during alignment or troubleshooting.

It is also used in material handling and pick-and-place robots for validating component presence before robotic arms engage. Because of its repeatable detection and immunity to color or material variation, the QS18VP6CV45 is a smart choice for precision-driven industries. Whether you're building new automation setups or upgrading outdated sensors, this Banner sensor delivers clarity, compactness, and confidence in every detection task.
