Banner Engineering QS18VN6AF100Q Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner QS18VN6AF100Q Photoelectric Sensor is an adjustable-field diffuse sensor in the WORLD-BEAM QS18 family, designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation. In typical use, it is installed on conveyors, packaging machines, and material handling equipment for presence detection and position sensing, leveraging an adjustable field diffuse mode with a sensing range of 1 to 100 mm and an adjustable cutoff from 20 to 100 mm. The unit operates on 10 to 30 VDC and provides a complementary NPN (NO/NC) output up to 100 mA, with a 150 mm (6 in) pigtail and a 4-pin M8 quick disconnect for easy wiring. A visible red LED light source, ABS housing, and IP67/NEMA 6 protection support reliable performance in harsh industrial settings, while universal mounting on an M18-threaded nose and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C suit a wide range of installations. Certifications include CE, UL, and CSA, and this model has common replacements such as QS18VP6AF100Q and QS18VN6D.
