Overview
The Banner QH23SP6DL-76140 is a solid-state diffuse photoelectric sensor from Banner Engineering’s Q23 series. This sensor detects the presence of objects in its field of view using reflected light, making it ideal for applications where a mounting reflector is not practical. Built for industrial automation, packaging, material handling, and motion control systems, the QH23SP6DL-76140 delivers consistent, reliable detection across a broad sensing range.
Key Features
- Diffuse Detection Mode: Reflects light off the target object; no separate reflector required
- Visible Red LED: 680nm visible light beam aids alignment and setup on the production floor
- PNP Digital Output: Complementary NO/NC (normally open/normally closed) transistor outputs; Light-ON or Dark-ON operation modes
- Potentiometer Adjustment: On-board sensitivity control for field tuning
- IP67 / NEMA Rating: Sealed against dust and water; suitable for harsh industrial environments
- Pre-Wired Cable: 6.5 ft (2 m) cable with bare-end flying leads for fast integration
