Banner Engineering QS18VP6LAF250Q5 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering QS18VP6LAF250Q5 is a World Beam QS18 Series all‑purpose photoelectric sensor that uses a laser adjustable‑field (LAF) optic for precise detection of small parts in confined environments. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a complementary PNP output, with bright status LEDs visible from 360° to confirm sensing and wiring conditions at a glance. This variant encodes key specs in its model name: QS18 (World Beam 18 mm family), VP (PNP output), 6 (housing/configuration), LAF250 (laser adjustable field with a 250 mm range), and Q5 (M12 quick‑disconnect/wiring arrangement) for a compact, plug‑in installation. The sensor features a 250 mm laser‑based sensing range and a 4‑pin M12 integral QD connection, making it suitable for presence/absence checks, part detection on conveyors, and alignment tasks in automation lines where a small, fast, DC‑powered sensor is advantageous.
