Banner SLM30P6Q Electrician Tool 30 mm Slot Sensor PNP M8 QD

Slot Sensor for Industrial Detection

The Banner SLM30P6Q is a rugged nickel-plated zinc die-cast slot sensor designed for fixed-distance object detection in automated machinery. It operates on a 10-30 V dc supply and provides a PNP output through an integral M8 Pico quick-disconnect with three pins. This unit suits engineers integrating presence sensing into conveyors, packaging lines or assembly cells where a durable metal housing is required.

30 mm Slot Width with 0.4 mm Resolution

The single specification that decides fit is the 30 mm slot width paired with a minimum object detection of .4 mm, allowing the sensor to register very small targets passing through the aperture. Sensing mode uses an emitter/receiver pair with a 60.8 mm array length and 62 mm overall slot depth, while a potentiometer adjustment and light/dark operate selection give setup flexibility. The acrylic lens and IP67 rating complete the optical and sealing profile.

Stable Output Under Continuous Operation

With an output response time of .5 ms and repeatability of 95 µs, the sensor maintains consistent switching during sustained high-speed cycles rather than only in brief test bursts. It tolerates ambient temperatures from -20 °C to 60 °C and up to 95% relative humidity at 55 °C, while the NEMA 6 and IP67 ratings protect against washdown and temporary immersion. A 100 ms power-up delay prevents false triggers during system start-up.
