Banner Engineering SLO30VB6YQPMA13LODO Slot Sensor

The Banner Engineering SLO30VB6YQPMA13LODO Slot Sensor is a compact emitter/receiver pair housed in a single thermoplastic shell for through-slot sensing. It delivers up to a 30 mm sensing range with a 2 mm minimum detectable object, and the slot is 45 mm deep with a slot/housing depth listed at 52 mm and 72 mm depending on configuration. The sensor operates on 10–30 V DC and provides bipolar outputs (NPN and PNP) via a 5‑pin M12 quick-disconnect, with a 0.2 m cable length option available for the model family. It carries IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings, enabling robust use in harsh environments, and is rated for -40 to 70 °C ambient temperatures with up to 90% relative humidity at 50 °C. The unit uses an infrared beam (approximately 890 nm) and features two status LEDs for Power and Signal, supports light/dark operating modes, and offers a rapid response time of 0.3 ms with 75 µs repeatability. Remote teach is not supported on this model, and the lens is acrylic, designed for dependable performance in automation fixtures where precise slot-based detection is required. This model is part of Banner’s SL10/SL30 Series Slot Sensors, and is suitable for applications such as verifying the presence or absence of thin parts, shims, guides, or fasteners within a narrow slot, with straightforward integration into standard controllers via the bipolar outputs.
