The Banner QS18VP6FF100Q5 is engineered with fixed background suppression technology, ensuring that only objects within its defined 100 mm sensing distance trigger detection—eliminating false positives from reflective or moving backgrounds. It utilizes a Visible Red LED beam with a 630 nm wavelength, housed in a rugged rectangular ABS body and mounted via an M18 threaded mount. This photoelectric sensor is IP67 and NEMA 4X rated, making it fully resistant to dust, water spray, and industrial contaminants. The 4-pin M12 quick disconnect ensures easy wiring and replacement, and its PNP discrete output makes it compatible with most PLC-based automation systems.
Operating within a wide temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and tolerating up to 95% relative humidity, the QS18VP6FF100Q5 is built for reliability in both controlled and challenging environments. The output response time of 0.85 ms and repeatability of 160 µs ensures fast and accurate detection, even on high-speed production lines. While it doesn’t require manual adjustments, the sensor includes LED status indicators for easy diagnostics during setup or routine checks. The 18 mm barrel diameter and acrylic lens are optimized for industrial durability without compromising signal clarity or alignment.
Applications of QS18VP6FF100Q5: 71884 - Banner PNP Photo Sensor
The QS18VP6FF100Q5 is ideally suited for part presence detection, packaging control, and close-range quality checks in automated systems. Its fixed background suppression makes it a top choice for detecting low-contrast or shiny objects against cluttered backgrounds, especially in electronics assembly, FMCG packaging, and labeling applications. Maintenance teams value the fast response time and LED indicators that simplify troubleshooting. Engineering colleges and training centers also use this sensor in PLC labs to demonstrate short-range detection without cross-talk from backgrounds. For factory automation systems that demand speed, accuracy, and rugged build quality, the Banner QS18VP6FF100Q5 delivers dependable performance.
