QS18VP6FF150Q5: 801160 - Banner Background Suppression Photo Sensor

Engineered for demanding applications, the Banner QS18VP6FF150Q5 sensor is equipped with a visible red LED beam and a sensing range of up to 150 mm, offering reliable performance even in environments with reflective or uneven backgrounds. With a durable IP67 and NEMA 4X rated housing made of ABS, it resists water, dust, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The device features a PNP output, 4-pin M12 connection, and operates on a 10–30 V DC supply with a fast 0.85 ms response time. The lens is made of acrylic, while the 18 mm barrel diameter and rectangular housing with M18 mounting ensure flexible installation. With a repeatability of 160 µs and power-up delay of just 100 ms, this sensor guarantees both accuracy and efficiency in real-time detection systems.

Applications of Banner QS18VP6FF150Q5

The Banner QS18VP6FF150Q5 Photoelectric Sensor is trusted in a variety of industrial automation scenarios. It is widely used in automated conveyor systems to detect product positioning without false triggers from nearby components or reflective backdrops. In packaging machinery, it identifies object presence or missing items during high-speed production, helping prevent line errors. It also finds use in robotic arms and pick-and-place systems, where it provides consistent and precise target detection despite changing background conditions.

Additionally, it supports quality inspection lines in automotive and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring that only the intended object is detected—thanks to its fixed background suppression feature. Engineering colleges and technical institutions also utilize this sensor in mechatronics labs to train students on real-world sensing applications in factory automation. Whether for new installations or upgrades, this sensor’s rugged design, fast response, and background immunity make it a go-to choice for OEMs, maintenance engineers, and control system designers.
