Photoelectric reflective sensor PNP 10...30VDC M12x1 connector QS18VP6FF100Q8

Photoelectric sensor from the QS18 series is a reliable device designed for object detection in various industrial and automation applications. It utilizes the reflective principle, meaning it detects the presence of an object by reflecting the emitted light beam. This particular model, QS18VP6FF100Q8, features a detection range of up to 100 mm and the ability to be configured as NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed).

The sensor's construction is based on a rectangular housing made of ABS plastic, which ensures durability and resistance to mechanical damage. An M18 thread allows for easy mounting in various configurations, and the IP67 protection rating guarantees dust and water tightness – an ideal solution for working in harsh industrial conditions. An M12 connector simplifies connection to controllers and automation systems.

This sensor is particularly useful in applications requiring precise object detection with background suppression. This function allows ignoring objects located outside a specific distance range, increasing detection reliability. A red LED as a light source provides good visibility of the beam and facilitates sensor adjustment. Additionally, a supply voltage in the range of 10-30 VDC ensures compatibility with most standard control systems. A PNP output allows for easy integration with logic circuits.

• Detection range up to 100 mm allows working with objects of various sizes and distances.
