QS18VP6CV45Q8: 66458 - Banner Red Light Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18VP6CV45Q8: 66458 Photoelectric Sensor is engineered for applications that require accurate sensing within confined distances. Using a convergent sensing mode, it focuses the visible 630 nm red LED beam to detect objects up to 43 mm with high repeatability and minimal background interference. This makes it ideal for detecting small parts or label edges where precision is essential. The sensor provides a PNP discrete output and operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply, ensuring smooth compatibility with most PLCs and control systems.

Housed in a durable ABS rectangular enclosure with an M18 mount, the device supports easy integration into machinery or fixtures. It features an IP67 ingress protection rating and NEMA 4X compliance, making it resilient against dust, water splashes, and harsh factory conditions. A user-friendly potentiometer allows engineers to fine-tune the sensor’s sensitivity, while the M12 quick-disconnect connection ensures fast installation and maintenance. Visual LED indicators provide immediate status feedback for operational clarity.

With a quick output response time of 0.6 ms, repeatability of 150 µs, and a power-up delay of just 100 ms, the QS18VP6CV45Q8 is well-suited for dynamic industrial environments. It performs reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 70°C and up to 95% humidity. The acrylic lens ensures clear, long-lasting optical performance even in demanding applications.

Applications of QS18VP6CV45Q8: 66458 - Banner

The QS18VP6CV45Q8 Photoelectric Sensor is a strong fit for automated inspection systems where short-range object detection must be highly accurate and consistent. Its convergent sensing allows it to reliably detect object presence, labels, or notches on moving products without being affected by background surfaces or color variations.

In pharmaceutical packaging and electronics assembly, the sensor is commonly used to detect small components, track packages on conveyor lines, and trigger sorting or verification operations. Its 43 mm fixed sensing range makes it ideal for applications where objects pass closely and speed cannot be compromised. The M12 connector enables quick replacement and reduces downtime during maintenance.

Maintenance engineers also rely on this sensor in pick-and-place machines, bottling systems, and carton verification setups where precise edge detection is necessary. Whether it’s part confirmation, presence sensing, or start/stop triggers, the QS18VP6CV45Q8 combines speed, compact design, and high reliability—making it a valuable addition to any modern industrial automation setup.
