QS18VP6FF50: 71640 - Banner Fixed-Field Background Suppression Sensor

The Banner QS18VP6FF50: 71640 Photoelectric Sensor is built for applications where precision and immunity to background interference are critical. Its fixed-field background suppression mode ensures consistent object detection up to 50 mm, filtering out any reflections or surfaces beyond the fixed sensing distance. Equipped with a 630 nm visible red LED beam, it offers excellent optical clarity, allowing users to visually confirm alignment with the target object. The sensor provides PNP discrete outputs and runs on a standard 10–30 V DC power supply, making it easy to integrate into most PLC-controlled systems.

With a rectangular ABS housing and M18 mount, the sensor is compact yet durable. Rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, it’s resistant to water, dust, and industrial washdowns. The 2-meter cable simplifies installation in tight spaces, and LED indicators on the housing provide real-time feedback for fast diagnostics. Although it does not require manual adjustments thanks to its fixed-field configuration, it still ensures accurate detection in varied environmental conditions.

Engineered for performance, the QS18VP6FF50 operates reliably between -20°C and 70°C, handles up to 95% humidity, and delivers fast switching with a response time of 0.85 ms and repeatability of 160 µs. Its acrylic lens and sealed housing ensure long-term optical stability and robustness in tough environments. Whether deployed in packaging lines, bottling plants, or compact machinery, this sensor ensures accurate object presence detection.

Applications of QS18VP6FF50: 71640 - Banner

The QS18VP6FF50 Fixed-Field Sensor is ideal for automated conveyor systems, especially in packaging lines where products are closely spaced. Its fixed 50 mm sensing distance ensures it only detects items at the exact position, ignoring background machinery or moving belts. This prevents false triggers and increases line efficiency.

In labeling and bottling applications, this sensor is used to detect bottle necks, label edges, or caps during filling and sealing. It’s particularly useful where object positions remain consistent but the background varies. Maintenance engineers appreciate its no-adjustment setup, which minimizes errors during installation or part replacement.

The sensor also performs well in automated inspection stations, pick-and-place robotics, and material feed controls where accurate part presence confirmation is needed at close range. Thanks to its compact body, high-speed response, and background suppression, the QS18VP6FF50 is a preferred choice for systems demanding precision, reliability, and simplicity in setup—especially in Indian manufacturing environments.
