Banner Engineering SME312CVW Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering SME312CVW is a Mini-Beam Expert convergent photoelectric sensor with a 16 mm focal point and a visible white sensing beam, designed for near-field detection of small parts. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a bipolar output (1 NPN and 1 PNP) via a 2 m (6.5 ft) cable for straightforward integration into control circuits. Housed in thermoplastic with an rectangular M18 mount, the sensor carries IP67 protection and a NEMA 4X rating for challenging environments, and it supports light/dark operate, remote teach via a Teach button, an output response time of 0.5 ms, and 100 µs repeatability. The SME312CVW uses a 5-pin configuration, an acrylic lens, and a visible white LED sensing beam, with operating temperature from -20 to 70 C and a 1000 ms power-on delay. This compact convergent model from Banner’s Mini-Beam Expert line is well suited to detecting small parts at short distances on conveyors or in tight spaces, offering reliable sensing and quick setup in rugged industrial settings.
