Banner Engineering T18SN6R Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering T18SN6R Photoelectric Sensor is the receiver element of a through‑beam, opposed‑mode pair in Banner’s compact T18 sensor family. It is a self‑contained barrel‑mount device that operates from 10 to 30 V DC and provides an NPN output suitable for sinking inputs. The receiver supports a sensing range of up to 20 meters (approximately 66 feet) in through‑beam configuration, making it well suited for longer‑reach object detection when paired with a matching emitter. In opposed‑mode setups, Banner notes that a separate emitter and receiver must be purchased to form the sensing pair. As part of the T18 line, the T18SN6R is designed for DC voltage operation within the 10–30 V range and is documented as the SN6R receiver variant, emphasizing long‑range sensing and compatibility with standard industrial control systems. This configuration is commonly used in automation tasks where reliable long‑distance detection is required and a dedicated emitter head enables extended reach without tight alignment.
