Banner Engineering QS18VN6LAFQ5 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering QS18VN6LAFQ5 World-BEAM photoelectric sensor is a compact, 18 mm‑wide rectangular detector that uses a visible red Class 1 laser with background suppression to reliably sense targets against cluttered backgrounds. It features an NPN transistor output and is offered with a 4-pin Euro‑style pigtail quick‑disconnect wiring option (suffix Q5). The sensing range is adjustable from 30 to 150 mm, and the device operates on a DC supply of 10 to 30 V. The sensing beam is 650 nm visible red, and this QS18VN6LAFQ5 model belongs to Banner’s World-BEAM QS18 family of all‑purpose sensors designed for industrial detection tasks where background objects must be ignored. QD variants (suffix Q5) require a mating cordset. The Banner part number for this variant is 73187, ensuring consistent cataloging across Banner’s official pages and distributor listings.
