Banner Engineering SME312CV2QD Photoelectric Sensor

Banner's SME312CV2QD Mini-Beam Expert Series convergent photoelectric sensor delivers fixed-focus detection at 43 mm, making it well-suited for locating small parts on fast-moving conveyors and in tight packaging stations. This self-contained unit operates on 10–30 V DC and provides bipolar outputs (one NPN and one PNP) for direct interfacing to common PLCs, with a M12 quick-disconnect (QD) connector for quick field wiring. The SME312CV2QD designation identifies a QD variant of the SME312 family featuring convergent sensing, part of Banner's compact Mini-Beam lineup. Typical applications include presence/absence checks of small components in assembly lines, end-of-line packaging, and other automation tasks that require precise beam focus at a fixed distance. Key specifications include supply voltage 10–30 V DC; outputs: bipolar NPN/PNP; sensing mode: convergent; focus distance: 43 mm; connector: M12 QD; product family: Mini-Beam Expert Series.
