The QS18VP6DQ8: 66460 from Banner is a diffuse mode photoelectric sensor equipped with a high-performance infrared LED beam and designed to detect objects up to a maximum sensing distance of 450 mm. Built for dynamic industrial environments, this model features a PNP discrete output and supports a 10–30 V DC power supply. Its potentiometer-based adjustment allows engineers to fine-tune sensitivity to match object reflectivity and distance requirements with ease. Housed in a durable ABS rectangular body with an M18 mount, the sensor includes a standard M12 4-pin quick-disconnect connector for streamlined wiring. The unit is built to withstand harsh factory conditions, with an IP67 and NEMA 4X rating for protection against water, dust, and vibration. Operational reliability is reinforced by its -20°C to +70°C temperature range and repeatability of 150 µs. With a fast response time of 0.6 ms and a 100 ms power-up delay, it ensures quick activation during rapid production sequences. The acrylic lens enhances beam clarity, while integrated LED indicators provide clear diagnostic feedback to operators during setup and runtime.
Applications of QS18VP6DQ8: 66460 - Banner PNP Output Diffuse Photo Sensor
The QS18VP6DQ8 is well-suited for use in automated conveyors, pick-and-place systems, packaging lines, and component detection tasks that require flexible, non-contact object sensing. Since it operates in diffuse mode, it does not require reflectors or separate receivers—making it ideal for installations in compact machines or locations where mounting space is limited. Engineers and technicians in FMCG, electronics, pharmaceutical, and assembly line environments appreciate the ease of installation, rugged design, and stable sensing performance of this model. Whether you're detecting small boxes, plastic trays, or metallic components, the Banner QS18VP6DQ8: 66460 delivers consistent results with minimal false triggers. It’s a preferred choice for professionals seeking a balance between affordability, accuracy, and ease of integration in demanding industrial settings.
