QS18VP6DQ: 61655 - Banner Infrared Photoelectric Switch

The Banner QS18VP6DQ is engineered for fast, stable, and consistent performance in demanding automation environments. Featuring a diffuse sensing mode, this sensor emits a focused infrared LED beam capable of detecting objects up to 450 mm away without requiring a reflector. This makes it especially useful for close-range detection of varied materials, including dark, matte, or curved surfaces that often challenge traditional photoelectric sensors. Built with a rugged ABS housing and a compact rectangular design with M18 mount, the QS18VP6DQ is both durable and easy to integrate. It supports a 10–30 V DC power supply and delivers PNP output via a quick-connect M8 connector. Its operational reliability is reinforced by an IP67 and NEMA 4X rating, protecting against dust, water, and washdowns in industrial settings. Technically, it responds within 0.6 ms, has repeatability of 150 µs, and includes a potentiometer for fine-tuning. LED status indicators and a 4-pin configuration help speed up installation and diagnostics, while the 18 mm barrel diameter and acrylic lens add to its robustness.

Applications of QS18VP6DQ: 61655 - Banner

The QS18VP6DQ is used widely in automated assembly lines, inspection stations, and electronic component handling systems. Its infrared diffuse sensing allows accurate detection of black rubber gaskets, small circuit boards, and non-reflective packaging materials. In automotive subassembly lines, it reliably confirms the presence or absence of parts before the next operation. In pharmaceutical production, it’s often installed in labeling and counting machinery where minimal contact and high-speed feedback are critical. Thanks to its M8 connector and compact housing, it fits perfectly into machines with tight enclosures or multi-sensor mounting rails. Maintenance teams prefer it for its plug-and-play design and low calibration effort. For engineers and system integrators, the QS18VP6DQ: 61655 offers long-term stability and minimal false detections—making it a trusted component across a wide range of sensing applications.
