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.
