Banner QS18 Series All-Purpose Photoelectric Sensors

Banner QS18 Series All-Purpose Photoelectric Sensors

Product Introduction

The Banner QS18 Series All-Purpose Photoelectric Sensors, part of the WORLD-BEAM Family, are versatile sensing solutions designed for industrial applications. With an 18 mm threaded barrel and universal housing, they serve as direct replacements for hundreds of sensor styles, offering flexibility in installation and operation. Engineered to meet IP67 and NEMA 6 standards, these sensors excel in harsh environments, supporting various sensing modes—from opposed and retroreflective to diffuse and ultrasonic—with ranges up to 20 meters. The QS18 Series combines easy setup via TEACH-mode (in Expert QS18E and ultrasonic models) with advanced features like IO-Link communication, making it an ideal choice for simplified integration and predictive maintenance.
