Banner Engineering S18SP6FF100Q Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering's S18SP6FF100Q is a compact EZ-BEAM photoelectric sensor with an 18 mm barrel that uses fixed-field background suppression to reliably detect objects at a 100 mm distance, offering stable performance on varied backgrounds in a fully encapsulated housing engineered for harsh industrial environments. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a complementary PNP output with LO/DO configurable for light-on or dark-on sensing, delivered through a 4-pin M12 integral quick-disconnect, and it uses an infrared LED at 880 nm for sensing. The unit is designed to withstand demanding conditions with IP69K protection, and Banner notes that opposed-mode installations typically require pairing with a companion emitter to complete the sensing arrangement.
