Banner Engineering QS18VN6RQ5 Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering's QS18VN6RQ5 World‑BEAM QS18 Series All‑Purpose Photoelectric Sensor is the receiver in an opposed‑mode through‑beam setup, delivering reliable detection at distances up to 20 m when paired with a compatible emitter. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a discrete NPN output, wired through a 150 mm (6 in) M12 pigtail quick‑disconnect with 4 conductors. The compact ABS housing (18 mm barrel) is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X for harsh environments, and the sensing beam can be either visible red or infrared. Key timings include 0.75 ms ON, 0.375 ms OFF response, a 100 ms power‑on delay, and 100 µs repeatability; the unit tolerates −20 to 70 °C and up to 95% relative humidity at 50 °C. Indicator LEDs provide at‑a‑glance status. This QS18VN6RQ5 model is suited for high‑speed conveyors, packaging lines, and other automated material‑handling tasks where a rugged long‑range receiver in Banner's QS18 family is required.
