Banner Engineering SMW915LVW Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering SMW915LVW is a VALU-BEAM 915 Series retroreflective photoelectric sensor with a SPDT electromechanical relay output, designed for straightforward, dependable object detection in automation environments. It operates from a 12–28 V AC/DC supply and uses a fixed reflector to detect targets by the reflected light beam, delivering a sensing distance up to 9,000 mm (9 m). The retroreflective configuration makes alignment with a reflector straightforward for consistent detection on moving or stationary targets. The SPDT relay output provides a single-pole double-throw switch suitable for driving external circuits or logic modules, enabling easy integration into existing control schemes. As part of Banner’s VALU-BEAM 915 family, the SMW915LVW emphasizes compact, self-contained construction and reliable performance in industrial settings. Typical applications include presence/absence sensing on production lines and packaging systems, where a relay closure signals downstream equipment or process logic. The 915LVW designation places this sensor within Banner’s 915 series lineup for standard retroreflective sensing needs.
