Banner Engineering QS18EP6DQ8 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering QS18EP6DQ8 is a World-BEAM QS18 Expert Series diffuse photoelectric sensor in a compact barrel-style housing. It operates on 10–30 VDC and uses a 4-pin M12 integral quick-disconnect connector, delivering a solid-state PNP output. With a diffuse sensing mode and a reach of up to 800 mm, it is designed to detect reflective objects or surfaces within the target zone. The sensor supports both dark-on and light-on configurations, enabling flexible integration with varying target colors and backgrounds. Its 600 µs response time supports fast on/off switching in automation lines, and its TEACH-mode feature facilitates simple setup in diffuse applications. The unit carries an IP40 enclosure rating, suitable for general-purpose industrial environments. This part is cataloged as 71995 and corresponds to the QS18EP6DQ8 model in Banner's QS18 family, widely used for object detection in manufacturing, packaging, and quality-control workflows where a compact, self-contained diffuse sensor is required.
