Banner Engineering QS18VN6LPQ 61628 Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering's QS18VN6LPQ is a World‑BEAM QS18 Series all‑purpose photoelectric sensor that uses polarized retroreflective sensing with a 630 nm visible red beam and a sensing range of 3.5 m (12 ft). It operates from 10 to 30 V DC and provides an NPN output with a maximum load current of 100 mA, while a bright status LED is visible from 360 degrees for quick troubleshooting on busy lines. The compact QS18 form factor delivers reliable detection in confined spaces, making it suitable for part presence on conveyors, packaging, and automated equipment where a reflector defines the target. This model is cataloged as 61628 (aliases include QS18VN6LPQ) within Banner’s World‑BEAM lineup. With its polarization retroreflective configuration and 18 mm housing footprint, QS18VN6LPQ integrates into a wide range of industrial sensing applications that require precise reflective‑target detection and straightforward electrical compatibility.
