Banner Engineering SMW915LV W 30 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering SMW915LV W/30 is a VALU-BEAM retroreflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable presence detection along conveyors and automated lines. It uses an infrared beam (880 nm) and can detect targets from 0.15 m up to 9 m away, depending on reflectivity and setup, with the 9 m maximum cited in distributor listings. The unit operates from 12–28 V AC/DC and provides an SPDT electromechanical relay output for straightforward integration with controllers and PLCs. The “W/30” suffix denotes a built-in 9 m (30 ft) cable assembly, simplifying mounting and wiring in tight industrial spaces. This model is part of Banner’s 915 VALU-BEAM family and is specified as a cabled retroreflective sensor, combining compact form with robust sensing performance suitable for mid-range sensing on production lines and packaging equipment.
