Banner Engineering SLE10B6VQ Teach-Mode Slot Sensor

The Banner SLE10B6VQ Teach-Mode Slot Sensor is a self-contained opposed-mode slot sensor in Banner's SLE10 EXPERT Series, combining an emitter and receiver inside a rugged U‑shaped thermoplastic housing. It ships with an integrated M12 quick-disconnect connector and operates from 10 to 30 V DC, delivering bipolar outputs (1 NPN, 1 PNP) for flexible interfacing to PLCs and controllers. The 10 mm slot width supports detection of small features with a minimum object size of 1 mm and a sensing range of up to 10 mm, while the slot depth measures 45 mm to accommodate a variety of part geometries. Teach Mode allows easy on-site programming, including remote Teach and dynamic TEACH options to compensate for variations or flutter, and the unit includes indicator LEDs for quick status checks. Built for industrial environments, it carries IP67 protection and a NEMA 4X compatibility profile, making it suitable for conveyors, labeling, hole detection, edge guiding, and small-part counting tasks.
