Banner Engineering T18SP6LPQ Photoelectric Proximity Sensor

Banner Engineering T18SP6LPQ is a compact self-contained photoelectric sensor in the EZ-BEAM T18 family, featuring polarized retroreflective sensing for reliable object detection at distance. It operates from 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP output suitable for sourcing loads in standard industrial control circuits. With an 18 mm barrel housing and a typical sensing range of up to 2 m (6.5 ft) when used with a polarized retroreflector, this sensor is designed for inline mounting on conveyors, packaging lines, and automation equipment where non-contact detection is needed. The T18SP6LPQ designation identifies the polarized retroreflective model; the sensor is designed to deliver consistent performance in challenging lighting conditions thanks to polarized optics that help discriminate targets from ambient reflections. For applications requiring connection options, verify the exact connector configuration of your unit (pre-wired, quick-disconnect, or pigtail) to ensure compatibility with your control system. In typical setups, wire the device to a DC supply within 10–30 V and route its PNP output to a PLC input or load driver, enabling fast, non-contact sensing without mechanical contact.
