Overview
The Banner Q23SP6LPQ photoelectric sensor is a compact, self-contained retroreflective unit designed for demanding industrial automation and motion control environments. This sensor operates on 10/30 VDC with a 1 ms response time and PNP output, making it suitable for high-speed applications requiring reliable polarized sensing. The Q23 series miniature DC photoelectric sensors operate on 10 to 30VDC and feature a right-angle housing design.
Key Features
- Red laser sensing beam with 100 mm to 2 m sensing range
