QS18VP6LV: 61636 - Banner Non-Polarized Retro-Reflective PNP Photo Sensor

The Banner QS18VP6LV: 61636 Photoelectric Sensor is built for reliability in demanding industrial environments. Its non-polarized retro-reflective sensing mode offers a generous sensing range of up to 6500 mm, using a clearly visible 650 nm red laser beam for accurate object detection. Housed in a durable ABS rectangular body with an M18 mount, it’s designed for quick setup and strong mechanical stability. The sensor features PNP discrete output and operates on a 10–30 VDC power supply, making it compatible with most control systems in factory settings.

Engineers will appreciate its IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings, ensuring protection against dust, water, and harsh washdowns. Setup is simplified with an integrated potentiometer for sensitivity adjustments, and LED indicators provide real-time feedback. It’s responsive, with an output response time of just 0.6 ms, and maintains precision with repeatability of 150 µs. With a 2-meter pre-wired cable, installation is straightforward. Built for reliability in tough conditions, this sensor operates efficiently between -20°C to 70°C and supports 95% relative humidity at 50°C. Acrylic lens material ensures optical clarity and strength, and the 18 mm barrel diameter supports easy retrofitting into existing systems.

Applications of QS18VP6LV: 61636 - Banner

The QS18VP6LV Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in automated packaging lines, where precise object detection is essential for ensuring consistent flow and quality control. Its non-polarized retro-reflective design makes it suitable for use with reflective targets in bottling plants, conveyor belt systems, and automated filling stations, where space is tight and alignment is critical.

In material handling systems, the sensor accurately detects passing items, regardless of surface color or reflectivity, which is crucial for detecting mixed material loads or shiny packaging. Additionally, the visible red beam helps maintenance staff and engineers easily align the sensor during setup or troubleshooting. This saves time and reduces alignment errors in dynamic environments.

For electronics and component assembly lines, the fast 0.6 ms response time enables high-speed detection, preventing production delays. It's also well-suited for logistics and warehousing, especially in automated sortation systems where precise detection of cartons and pallets ensures efficiency. With its rugged build, easy integration, and field-proven reliability, the QS18VP6LV stands out as a go-to solution for engineers optimizing smart factories and Industry 4.0 environments.
