Photoelectric reflective sensor PNP 10...30VDC 2m cable QS18VP6AF300

Reflective photoelectric sensor – reliable object detection in harsh conditions

This reflective photoelectric sensor, utilizing background suppression technology, is designed for precise object detection even in demanding industrial environments. The use of a red visible light emitting LED (wavelength 640 nm) facilitates visual control and precise adjustment. Thanks to the adjustable detection range, the sensor effectively distinguishes the object from the background, minimizing the risk of false readings.

Functionality and application

The QS18VP6AF300 sensor performs well in many industrial applications where reliable object detection on a variable or shiny background is required. It is ideal for:

• Packaging automation: Detecting the presence of pouches, cartons or containers on production lines, even in the case of metal or patterned conveyors.
• Automotive parts assembly: Detecting components such as seals or clips, which often have low contrast with the surroundings.
• Material handling and conveyor systems: Verifying the presence of elements, controlling gates or starting labeling processes.
• Generally: everywhere where stable and adaptive detection is needed in fast production lines.

Construction and operating parameters

The sensor is characterized by a solid construction with a rectangular housing made of durable ABS and an acrylic lens ensuring long-lasting optical clarity. It meets IP67 and NEMA 4X standards, guaranteeing resistance to dust, water and chemicals. Operation in a wide temperature range (from -20°C to 55°C) and at a relative humidity of up to 95% allows its use in harsh environmental conditions. The power supply is 10-30 V DC, and the output signal is PNP – which facilitates integration with popular PLCs and automation systems. A response time of 2.5 ms and a repeatability of 250 µs ensure fast and precise object detection. The cable length is 2 meters and the sensor has 4 pins. The start-up delay is 200 ms, ensuring smooth synchronization with the system during start-up.
