® WORLD-BEAM QS18E Clear Object Detection with IO-Link 1 Product Description ™ Expert Coaxial Polarized Retroreflective Sensor for Clear Object Detection with IO-Link • Reliably detects clear, transparent, or opaque objects — including PET, glass containers, and transparent films • Coaxial optics enable reliable detection of targets to the face of the sensor with no dead zone •...
® WORLD-BEAM QS18E Clear Object Detection with IO-Link 1.2 Overview The Banner QS18 sensor is a high performance clear object detection Amber LED sensor with an IO-link and multifunction output. The polarized coaxial (Output Indicator) optical design ensures reliable detection of transparent, translucent, and opaque targets at any distance between the sensor and the reflector.
® WORLD-BEAM QS18E Clear Object Detection with IO-Link 2 Installation 2.1 Installing and Mounting the Sensor for Low Contrast Applications Reliable transparent object detection depends on the sensor always detecting the object as "dark state" and the reflector as the "light state". Using a recommended reflector, and proper orientation of the sensor to the reflector, is key to good clear object detection.
