Banner Engineering QS18VPLAF100Q5 Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering QS18VPLAF100Q5 is a compact, self-contained photoelectric sensor in the World‑BEAM QS18 family that delivers a 100 mm laser‑adjustable-field detection in an 18 mm-wide housing. It operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and uses a 150 mm PVC cable with a 4‑pin M12 quick‑disconnect (the Q5 suffix) for easy wiring. The Laser Adjustable Field (LAF) configuration provides a user‑settable sensing field for precise detection on varying targets, while still offering the standard QS18’s all‑purpose sensing capabilities. This model is commonly used for presence/absence sensing and part detection on production lines and conveyors, where a defined 100 mm detection zone enhances reliability. Output configurations in the QS18 family are designed to be complementary (PNP or NPN) depending on model, enabling integration with typical automation I/O schemes. Built for industrial environments, the QS18VPLAF100Q5 combines a small footprint with robust performance across a range of target materials and surface finishes.
