The QS18VP6LAFQ from Banner is designed with a high-performance background suppression sensing mode, allowing it to detect targets precisely up to 150 mm without interference from background objects. It uses a Class 1 visible red laser with a 650 nm wavelength, delivering a focused detection beam with excellent repeatability of 130 Β΅s. This sensor is encased in a durable rectangular ABS housing and protected with an IP67 and NEMA 4X rating, making it resistant to dust, water, and industrial contaminants.
The unit supports PNP discrete output and connects via a standard M8 4-pin connector for quick setup. The unique feature of the mechanical screw adjustment allows operators to fine-tune the sensing range manually, which is highly beneficial in field conditions where precise tuning is needed without software tools. With an operating voltage range of 10β30 V DC, a fast 0.7 ms response time, and a 200 ms power-up delay, the QS18VP6LAFQ ensures stable and consistent operation across variable working conditions. It operates efficiently in environments ranging from -10Β°C to +50Β°C and withstands up to 95% humidity at 50Β°C. The sensor also features an Acrylic lens for optical clarity and LED indicators for live feedback, supporting real-time alignment and diagnostics.
Applications of QS18VP6LAFQ: 73190 - Banner
The Banner QS18VP6LAFQ Mechanical Screw Photo Sensor is widely used in automated packaging lines, conveyor detection systems, small part verification stations, and pallet positioning modules. Its background suppression feature is particularly useful in avoiding false triggers from reflective or moving backgrounds. Engineers often choose this sensor for applications where the sensing range must be fine-tuned manually in the fieldβespecially when product color or shape varies. Thanks to its compact housing and precise laser spot, it's also ideal for space-constrained machinery where traditional diffuse sensors fail. Whether you're installing it in an electronics assembly line or a material handling unit, the QS18VP6LAFQ ensures accuracy, reliability, and long-term performance in every detection cycle.
