The QS18VP6LDQ is equipped with a Class 1 visible red laser that operates at a wavelength of 650 nm, providing a focused detection path ideal for detecting small parts or subtle changes in surface properties. This sensor works in a diffuse sensing mode, eliminating the need for a reflector, while still achieving a maximum sensing distance of 300 mm. Its rectangular ABS housing with an M18 mount ensures mechanical strength, compactness, and compatibility with common industrial fixtures. The IP67 rating and NEMA 4X compliance protect the sensor from dust, water, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for rugged shop floors or humid packaging zones.
Internally, the sensor operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply and delivers a PNP discrete output. With a fast 0.7 ms output response time and 130 µs repeatability, it supports high-speed automation environments. Setup is simple thanks to an onboard potentiometer that allows technicians to adjust the sensing range manually. The M8 4-pin connector provides a secure and compact wiring interface, supporting quick replacement or integration with PLC systems. Additional performance enhancements include a power-up delay of 200 ms and robust operation between -10°C and +50°C with up to 95% relative humidity. The acrylic lens ensures optical clarity, while LED indicators provide real-time status feedback.
Applications of QS18VP6LDQ: 73042 - Banner
The Banner QS18VP6LDQ Laser Diffuse Sensor is commonly used in electronics inspection lines, automated bottling systems, conveyor belt product detection, and label alignment verification. Its diffuse sensing capability enables detection of objects with various surface finishes—matte, shiny, or colored—without requiring external reflectors. Maintenance teams prefer this sensor for its simplicity, speed, and ability to detect lightweight or transparent objects in dynamic production environments. Thanks to its compact body and secure M8 connection, it fits easily into control panels and machinery where space is limited. Whether you're improving quality checks on an assembly line or enhancing object detection in a sorting application, the QS18VP6LDQ provides stable, high-resolution performance with minimal setup effort.
