Banner Engineering QS18VP6LAFQ5 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering QS18VP6LAFQ5 is a World-Beam QS18 miniature photoelectric sensor built for general-purpose object detection in compact spaces, delivering a 150 mm sensing range in a small housing designed for installation on conveyors and in tight machine bays. It provides a PNP output and operates on a 10–30 V DC supply, with a 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect connection; the Q5 suffix specifically identifies a 150 mm cable length with an M12 QD. As part of Banner’s QS18 All-Purpose family, this model is part of a line that supports multiple sensing methods and configurations across variants, including diffuse, polarized retroreflective, and fixed-field background suppression options depending on the exact model. Typical applications include part presence checks on conveyors, packaging-line defect detection, and general automation sensing where quick, reliable detection of objects is required, such as in assembly lines, carton openings, and quality-control checks.
